Ray,
Following advice (I can dig through my email, I can't take
credit) from amanda_users...
modify /kernel/drv/sgen.conf, add lines "like" the following
Note, my changers are on busses 5 and 6 both at SCSI id 4.

name="sgen" class="scsi" target=4 lun=0;
Welcome to my pain.. :-)

able to use the STCTL driver to get my Exb210 changer to work.. you may want to
try downloading that and configuring it. It will give your a dev for your
changer /dev/rmt/stctl0.
Good

We have had a tape changer running with amanda for a while but it was just being used

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 ?
Thanks

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

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!).

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 th

Hi! I'd like to test the 2.4.4b client on a cygwin-enabled win32 machine.
However, I have a 2.4.2p2 server, which does everything that I need to do

2.4.2p2 server?
Thanks muchly,

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

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 ?
