Hi,
I have added a dumptype option, "encrypt".
Code has been committed to the sourceforge,
rpm will be available next week on www.zmanda.com.
I have updated the encryption section on :
http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/Backup_server#Server-side_and_Client-side_encryption

At the same time, I have also incorporated Matthieu Lochegnies's custom compress patch. Now that you can specify your own compression program. Information is added to http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/Backup_server#Custom_Compression

AMANDA.CONF(5) man page is also updated with the information.

I have tested it on different configuration, performing amdump, amrestore and amrecover:
a) client-compress, server-encrypt
b) client-compress, client-encrypt
c) server-compress, server-encrypt

Please use it and send us your feedback to http://forums.zmanda.com/showthread.php?t=8
Thanks!
