With all the problems I've had doing client side encryption on FreeBSD I wanted
to make sure amanda worked without any "fancy" options. I tried two
variations on backups:
1. No compression, no encryption, ssh authentication
2. No compression, SERVER-side encryption, ssh authentication
I'm happy to report that both worked and I was able to restore files
successfully. It's not the end of the story. I have enough paranoid higher-ups
that they just can't sleep if encryption isn't done by the client. I understand
... I might go crazy one day and have nothing better to to do than restore files
for servers that I already have administrative access to ...
The saga continues but it'll have to wait until I get back on Monday.
