Latest pre-release version is 1.13.25 - is it OK to use this or should one
stick to 1.13.19 ?
I can't recall hearing anything bad about 25. Test it, of course, but it
should work just fine.

You could at least temporarily go to 'runtapes 2' in amanda.conf to make

help, or using two tape drives with chg-multi might be good too.

Another option, depending on how many machines are on the public network, is
a VPN tunnel, like FreeSWAN or CIPE. (This also provides a secure channel

Agreed, but it does not encrypt the data on tape. The setup I mentioned
is used to encrypt the dump itself, not the transport.
