For years I have use amanda on centos But centos still only offers amanda version 2.5.0 The management decided that we needed to encrypt the backups since they are stored off site I believe that upgrading to amanda 3.2.1 and using amcrypt-ossl is a good solution Previously I used the following as a guide in the event I had to rebuild with only a tape
# get a list of what is on the tape mt -f /dev/nst1 rewind amrestore -p /dev/nst1 no-such-host > /dev/null # move to the desired fs and extract mt -f /dev/nst1 rewind mt -f /dev/nst1 fsf 7 dd if=/dev/tape bs=32k skip=1 | tar xvf - Would someone comment on how this would go with amcrypt-ossl in the mix Specifically how to rebuild a toc and use that to retrieve a file I created a test server and made a test backup Amrecover works with no problem I have search the amanda wiki but only found documents that are marked obsolete Richard
