I seem to remember that something like this has been discussed before, but
I couldn't find anything in the archives ;-/
Anyhow, I'm thinking about setting up a config with full backups to tape
and incrementals to harddisk - due to limited tape capacity (yes, I know

Hello,
I have been using amanda for over a year. Having HP SureStore Autoloader
(9 tapes carrusel). It's been ok during that time.
Now, since I have to backup a big disk, I have decided to change the
autoloader operation mode from random mode, to stacker mode... Thats means
now it doesnt have

Try to set it all up for harddisk backup, and flush fulls
to tape after amanda has finished her job. Thus you also
have the fulls on disk for recovery.
Or maybe you really want two configs, one of them an
archive run with only full backups ?

are your literally typing C: including the colon? Try to use just the
letter, see if
Hi Martin,
nope, I'm only typing the C itself.
It worked fine before upgrading amanda from 2.4.2p2 to 2.4.3
But you triger something in my mind.
It is possible amflush is case-significant at that point.
one more thing to try
Thanks

On the last few runs, I've seen some strangeness with one DLE that I
can't figure out. I'm using the canned 'comp-root' dumptype:

The DLE is the root filesystem (/dev/sda1)

Amanda is a backup manager, not a security manager. There are no steps taken
to ensure the security of the backups. Several solutions are available,
though:
- Use the Kerberos support built in to Amanda. I've never played with this.
- Use tar with a wrapper script on the client that encrypts

This is what VPN's are for.
Amanda has little concept of security and relies on DNS lookups/usernames
for any sort of authentication. You can augment this with
tcp-wrapper/xinet type security, but the traffic will
still travel over the public internet in the clear (or at best
compressed!).

As many already sudgested: VPN is your best choice. Sometimes VPN is not
an option though, the second best option is:

There is a patch which will allow the SSL encryption of the amanda dump

I think the easiest way would be to use an SSH tunnel. Would this be easy
to implement ? Any examples maybe or pointers on how to acheive that ?

From looking at the docs and some quick googling, I don't think stacker
mode works like this. Yes, it will automatically load the next tape when
it hits EOT, but I don't see any indications that the autoloader firmware
virtualizes this and presents one contiguous tape to the OS.
So you're
Actually, an SSH tunnel is one of the least easy VPNs for this because of
the many different ports AMANDA can use. Unless you have limitations on what
you can install on the boxes, a full VPN (like IPSec, as mentioned in
another post) is probably your best bet. The VPN model of point-to-point
