I am using 2.5 snapshot. I am using auth=ssh. As mentioned by someone else, this seems for some reason to leave amandad & sendsize running on the client after the server has detached itself. I haven't found anything interesting in the logs, but probably wouldn't know it if I saw it... Is there

Ladies & gentelmen, I have amanda running on 99% of the systems I wish to backup. It is configured and running just fine. I could move on to something else, EXCEPT I need to add security. Any security, I need Authentication & Encryption, in just about any form. SSH, SSL, something with keys

Well, I have spent a few days converting a client from a bunch of hand rolled scripts that rcp files all over the place, to amanda. All the while saying that this will be better, this is good, this is how it should work. Of course I couldn't complete it in a day, and there were issues of conf

Under normal conditions should amanda try to fill each tape? I want amanda to dump whatever it can up until the limit set by tapesize. I am keeping 30 "tapes" on disk, and burning the "oldest slot" to DVD daily, and re-labeling it (so it shows as a "new" tape). I just don't want to waste any spac
