No you can configure Amanda to work through any firewall (including the PIX) we do it here. When you compile Amanda force it to use a specific range of ports. Use the --with-tcpportrange=X,Y. Where X is the start and Y is the end of the range.
Configure the PIX to support the standard client connect port (10080/udp) and the range and you're all set. Alex Specogna Senior Systems Administrator CryptoLogic Inc.

Is this to say that there is no way to back up a machine that is behind a firewall like a PIX box? -- Brendon Colby Systems Administrator Midcontinent Communications
