Hello,

(I know this is not part of amanda's default behavior so if this is not ok
for this list please let me know)

I am having much trouble getting amanda to work with gpg.  I am little
confused and could use some pointers.

I have re-compiled the client and server and installed the new binaries.
I ran amdump and everything appeared to be working I saw the gtar process
running, I saw the gpg process, I saw the gzip process running, I have a
"gpg.debug" file in /tmp.  The image appeared to write to tape correctly.
The email output showed no signs of failure.

Here is the issue.  I can not restore from the image on tape no matter
what I try.  The error is:

gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
gpg: decrypt_message failed: eof"

( I assume here that either the wrong data, or corrupted data made it to
tape, other issues??)

Also the /tmp/amanda/gpg.debug file is still on the disk after the backup
completed.

Here is the odd part.  I copied the gpg.debug file to my backup server and
manually ran: "gpg -d --homedir=/var/backups/.gnupg/ -r [EMAIL PROTECTED]
gpg.debug  | tar tvfp -"

And it worked perfectly.  So I guess my questions are:

Why does this setup write to /tmp/amanda/gpg.debug?

Why was this not written to tape?

Why was /tmp/amand/gpg.debug not removed?

What was written to tape?


Thank you again for all the awesome assistance in advance.


Andrew
