4 Starting the Amanda Service for the First Time
Amanda Portal server is installed as a service under Windows. In order to start or stop the
Amanda system you’ll start or stop the Amanda service. The easiest way to control the
Amanda service is using the Services control manager.
To access services go to control panel, administrative tools, services (if there isn’t a
shortcut to services on the desktop, this is a good time to create one). Once you see the
service list, start the Amanda service by selecting “Amanda”, and clicking the play button
on the player controls (as shown in figure 22). Additionally, you can also stop the
Amanda service by clicking the stop button.
