Maybe...
I'm in the same situation as your.
Sometime ago, I was considering upgrade to 2.5.1 for
some reasons but I can't remember why. Maybe this was something to do with
the fact that amanda 2.5.1 could run scripts on the client before doing
a backup... Oh wait, I just remembered now: It was just that I wanted to
re-compile amanda to use a larger block size than the one pre-defined in
RedHat (but maybe there was also this idea of client-side script execution)
Then I read quite a few bug reports on the list concerning
the first releases of 2.5.1 and now I'm not so excited by this upgrade
anymore...
