So I could test it by temporarily moving the am_passphrase away, it should "crash" then. > Are they clear text on tape or once restored? it's not the same > thing. Use dd or 'amrestore -r' if you want to see want is on tape. I configured my test-DLE to encrypt and did an amdump <conf> -o tapedev="" -o tpchanger="" <host> <mydle> to only write the dump to the holdingdisk. As far as I understand it should be encrypted there as well? But I can list its content with a simple "tar -tvf" although its header says: program /usr/local/bin/amgtar crypt enc server_encrypt /usr/local/sbin/amcrypt server_decrypt_option -d ... hmm. I feel a bit scared now. Maybe I should test with tape now? Thanks, Jean-Louis
