But maybe the question is somewhat imprecise. I try to spread it into more precise questions: With ssh authentication: - Are dumps transported over a ssh tunnel? - Are indexes transported over a ssh tunnel? - Are index transfers authenticated via ssh? - How are restores authenticated/transported? Anybody dares to answer those questions? > and that *of course* the dump goes through the ssh connection. When it comes to security, _never_ make such assumptions. There's too much snake oil out there.
