TLS isn't totally necessary. If you restrict your firewall on the open ports to the specific IP or hostname, that should almost be enough. The only time you'd want to incorporate TLS if is the data being backed up and streamed is secure data, like sensitive data you can't or don't want anyone to be able to see. -drew ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
