Huh? I don't understand the question(s). >slightly off topic: if backing up onto holding disk could tapio >(i think that is the name) scp or rsync over ssh the file >to the holding disk of an amanda server that will move >the backup it to tape? ... Again, huh? :-) Why would one Amanda server send its holding disk files to another Amanda server to write to tape? Why not just have the clients backed up from the second server? If you're asking if Amanda can use other transport mechanisms that provide better security (i.e. encrypt the streams), the answer is yes. It already supports Kerberos, and the 2.5 security structure (in theory) allows others to be added. >raymond John R. Jackson, Technical Software Specialist, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
