I did not specifically install gnupg or aespipe as they appeared to be present already. I did install sharutils for uuencode.
I generated the gpg-key as per the instructions, created .am_passphrase, and then modified the dumptype in amanda.conf accordingly:
define dumptype comp-tar {
program "GNUTAR"
tape_splitsize 1Gb
compress fast
index yes
record yes
exclude list "/etc/amanda/exclude-list"
encrypt server
server_encrypt "/usr/sbin/amcrypt"
server_decrypt_option "-d"
}
Amcheck runs ok. But when I start the backup job, it fails with:
FAILED DUMP DETAILS:
/-- server /bla/bla lev 0 FAILED [data write: Broken pipe]
sendbackup: start [server:/bla/bla level 0]
sendbackup: info BACKUP=/bin/tar
sendbackup: info RECOVER_CMD=/bin/gzip -dc |/bin/tar -f... -
sendbackup: info COMPRESS_SUFFIX=.gz
sendbackup: info end
\--------

And this is an extract from amdump.1 in the Amanda config directory. It appears not to have been able to find “aespipe”, which is strange because it’s right there:
-sh-3.2$ ls -l /usr/sbin/amaespipe
-rwxr-x--- 1 amandabackup disk 3193 May 14 03:45 /usr/sbin/amaespipe

I did notice that an example dumptype in amanda.conf mentions "/usr/sbin/amgpgcrypt" as opposed to "/usr/sbin/amcrypt", but get the same results as above when using that one.
Am I maybe not using the correct version of aespipe? The Amanda server is a simple clean install of RHEL5 U2.
Any advice?
Thanks.
