I understand that amanda 2.5 is compatible with amanda 2.4 clients. This means I could upgrade my server and do the clients later ? I would like to upgrade to 2.5.2 for security reason (ability to encrypt backups, ssh)

I compiled my server and client with restriction on the tcp and udp ports used for ease of firewall configuration:

--with-tcpportrange=50000,50100' '--with-udpportrange=850,859

Do these options still apply to the new amanda version ?

Will the new version be able to restore old tapes that were written by the amanda 2.4 tapeserver ?

Will amrecover on a 2.4 client be able to use the 2.5 amanda server ?

Are the new encryption and ssh features easy to use ?

Thanks !
