Simple backup tape encryption

2005-06-24 Thread Bruce Fletcher
I would like to propose an idea for the Amanda wishlist. Assuming there aren't enough items on that list already... What I would like to see is the option of simple encryption of backup tapes. I'm not looking for over-the-wire encryption or client side encryption, I just want my tapes to be

2003-05-31 Thread Bruce Fletcher
Hi, I'm just starting to figure out Amanda and I have a few questions, hopefully not too stupid. My main goal is disaster recovery for a few servers, which to me means having the most recent complete set of backups off-site. I'm curious how that would work with Amanda dump cycles. If, for instanc
