Amanda 2.5.1.p1 ssh-auth

2007-08-04 Thread Ralf Auer
Hi all, I am just upgrading my Amanda from 2.4.5 to 2.5.1p1 (2.5.2p1 does not compile at all). I am very happy about the new 'ssh-auth' feature in 2.5. It works now in my test setup (only 2 DLEs). The question I have now, is, wether ssh is used ONLY for authentication, or if ALL dumps as

I've been using ssh-auth since the earliest days of 2.5. Yes, the dumps themselves go through the ssh tunnel. I have not noticed any appreciable increase in backup time, at least on our system, which has over 400 DLEs. (I'm not sure why the number of DLEs would be relevant, really.) Ralf Auer

Hi again, thanks for the quick replies. @ Steve: Of course the number of DLEs is not what possibly makes things slower, but the amount of data thas has to be transferred to the tape server. And that will significantly improve when I go from 2 DLEs setup to 'real' backup, that's what I

Hi Dustin, no problem. I just didn't want to spam the 'users' mailing list with the compiling details, but here we go: I am running Ubuntu 7.04 on i386 on the server host. Tried gcc-4.1 and gcc-3.3. Downloaded 2.5.2p1 from Amanda website. This is how I configured 2.5.2p1 sources:
