Sorry for the multiple recent posts but as I work my way through enabling
encrypted backups I keep running into different issues. In our last episode, I
had enabled encrypted backups and corrected an issue with ipv6 and key placement
on the amanda server.
My current issue is that while backups appear to run without a hitch, I can't
restore. These problems are all on FreeBSD machines, 4.x on up through 6.3. I
can launch amrecover and it communicates with the amanda server. When I try to
list files I get the error:
No index records for disk for specified date
If date correct, notify system administrator
I checked the amanda server and sure enough, there were no index files. The
file for that particular filesystem was there but it was empty. I have a
feeling this isn't necessarily an amanda issue but more of a problem in how
encryption is implemented. If I try encrypting the backup file manually I get
the error:
bz2aespipe: wrong magic - aborted
I changed the output for amaespipe so that errors are written to a file instead
of /dev/tty and when the backup runs I get the same error message.
Is anybody else doing encrypted backups for FreeBSD clients? Could be we take
this off-list since it's probably not an amanda specific problem.
