Amanda's #1 sin is a horrible network protocol with a totally unbelievably stupid security model. If someone were to rewrite it to work over SSH, I'd be much happier. These days, I'm using this: rsync --bwlimit=500 --exclude-from FILE --stats -a --delete \ --numeric-ids -e'ssh -c blowfish -i /PATH/ssh-key' \ / USERWITHUIDZERO@REMOTEHOST:backups/LOCALHOST -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
