Replying to myself:

It's my second attempt at trying to get any input as to how difficult it may be to upgrade amanda. I have not received any reply on both occasions.

Are my questions too dumb ? I would like to read some sort of upgrade guide, but I can't find anything useful in the doc or in the amanda wiki.

2.5 seems pretty scary. I see a lot of problems on the list. Is it stable, or is it experimental ?

Thanks

    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 !
