Amanda users have used aespipe in the past, so it's there.

Hmmm, AFAIK is aespipe part of loop-aes and loop-aes is deprecated
because the kernel developers want to switch to devmapper.  Please
correct me and clarify if I'm wrong.

devmapper seems to be merged into the mainline Linux and loop-aes has not. However, for the purpose of backup encryption, it's still a valid solution. Debian and Gentoo distribute it and it's actively maintained by the author.

devmapper/loop-aes/aespipe, all linux'isms ??
And some as kernel facilities?

How do they fit with compiling amanda on unix, various BSDs,
Solaris, AIX, Tru64, HP-UX, OSX, and/or cygwin?

what kind of encryption are compiled in.
