I'm having some strange issues as well, trying to do encrypted backups on FreeBSD. Let me ask this: 1. Is encrypted storage of backups a production feature? 2. What documentation is available giving

Yes. We have done limited testing on FreeBSD as well as encryption using aesutil. Most of the testing has been done using gpg. See http://www.zmanda.com/quick-backup-setup.html (uses gpg encryption)
I got this working without too much of a problem. 1. Create a key file and a passphrase as described in 'man amcrypt', store them in the locations indicated. 2. Use a config such as the following to

I've been through this but still don't have it working. On the particular disk entry (backing up with gtar) encryption doesn't run during amdump. amcheck reports the error: WARNING: testhost:/disk1/u
It sounds counter intuitive, but you may need to check the version of the AMANDA *client* supports "server-side" encryption. You probably need 2.5.1 or above. I was confused by this, initially, think

The quick answer is that amrecover has to "pass through" encryption information from amindexd and back to amidxtaped. So even though it's not doing the decryption, it needs to know about it. I can ch

With all the problems I've had doing client side encryption on FreeBSD I wanted to make sure amanda worked without any "fancy" options. I tried two variations on backups: 1. No compression, no encryp
