Earlier versions of Bacula used OpenSSL, until they got shirty about the license. I still have old versions of the servers that I run on systems that have hardware SSL accelerators (zSeries), and it works fine if your openssl.cnf is set up to use it AND your SSL engine supports symmetric offload (Bacula doesn't make/break connections that often, so the accelerators that don't include the symmetric offload don't really help much).

At the moment it appears the taking large encrypted backups puts a decent amount of load on the CPU. On production systems in certain environments, this may not be acceptable when backups run for long periods of time. The engines framework in OpenSSL abstracts the hardware devices from OpenSSL via configuration, causing these devices to be used when compatible ciphers are used. This can be configured in openssl.cnf (provided the application considers this configuration file) or in the application itself. I've tried including this myself, using a Hifn7955 card, without much luck. Does anybody else have any experience implementing this? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Bacula-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-devel
