Maybe... I'm in the same situation as your. Sometime ago, I was considering upgrade to 2.5.1 for some reasons but I can't remember why. Maybe this was something to do with the fact that amanda 2.5.1 could run scripts on the client before doing a backup... Oh wait, I just remembered now: It was just that I wanted to re-compile amanda to use a larger block size than the one pre-defined in RedHat (but maybe there was also this idea of client-side script execution) Then I read quite a few bug reports on the list concerning the first releases of 2.5.1 and now I'm not so excited by this upgrade anymore...
