RE: Encrypted network traffic
...and for a last shot at this one: CIPE It does encrypted P2P tunneling.

We have several systems we would like to backup over the network, but we have a mandate from our management that all the data transfers need to be encrypted. Different methods -- I never tried one. One approach is to replace the gzip program with an gpg (with builtin gzip and encryption). Maybe a bridge to far for your problem, because the data on tape is encrypted too. But it is secure.

We have several systems we would like to backup over the network, but we have a mandate from our management that all the data transfers need to be encrypted. A perfectly reasonable mandate IMO. The easy way to add it would be to use sslwrap: http://www.rickk.com/sslwrap/ The nice thing about sslwrap is that it can be layered onto any existing service without any modification to the services you wish to encrypt. The other, probably more complicated, though possibly more secure method is to tunnel amanda through ssh. Also, a Google search turned this up: http://cns.utoronto.ca/~pkern/stuff/amanda-patch/Readme I have no idea how well it works.

RE: Encrypted network traffic
Maybe getting a little OT, but you could use racoon, on *BSD at least, and have a different key pair for each side of the data transfer, that automatically re-keys at a specified time period. So you would end up having to compromise 3 key pairs total to get at your data (1 for IKE phase 1, and 1 pair each for each side of the security association). You could then use gpg to encrypt the data on tape. :) Drew On Tue, 2003-12-30 at 10:38, Gregor Ibic wrote: I would say, encrypt it on a lower layer like IPSEC. regards, gregor Intelicom d.o.o.

Re: Encrypted network traffic
Hello George, Hm, you could use ssh to create an encrypted tunnel (point the machine to look at localhost, then tunnel from localhost to your backup server), create a similar SSL tunnel between the client and backup server, or use an IPSec VLAN between the client and backup server. I hope this helps, Tim On Tue, 30 Dec 2003, Henson, George Mr JMLFDC wrote: All, Is there support to have the network traffic to be encrypted?
