Replying to myself: It's my second attempt at trying to get any input as to how difficult it may be to upgrade amanda. I have not received any reply on both occasions.
Are my questions too dumb ? I would like to read some sort of upgrade guide, but I can't find anything useful in the doc or in the amanda wiki. 2.5 seems pretty scary. I see a lot of problems on the list. Is it stable, or is it experimental ? Thanks 2007/5/7, Guy Dallaire <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
I understand that amanda 2.5 is compatible with amanda 2.4 clients. This means I could upgrade my server and do the clients later ? I would like to upgrade to 2.5.2 for security reason (ability to encrypt backups, ssh) I compiled my server and client with restriction on the tcp and udp ports used for ease of firewall configuration: --with-tcpportrange=50000,50100' '--with-udpportrange=850,859 Do these options still apply to the new amanda version ? Will the new version be able to restore old tapes that were written by the amanda 2.4 tapeserver ? Will amrecover on a 2.4 client be able to use the 2.5 amanda server ? Are the new encryption and ssh features easy to use ? Thanks !
