Talk:Amindexd protocol
From The Open Source Backup Wiki (Amanda, MySQL Backup, BackupPC)
Jump to navigationJump to searchI'm trying to implement this protocol in Perl and found the documentation to be slightly lacking, perhaps someone could explain authentication and the 'features' command?

- I don't know much about the protocol (I'll send Jean-Louis, who does, along), but I'm excited to hear that you're re-implementing this in Perl! However, I notice that you're using 2.5.0p2, which is pretty old. In 2.6.1, there is a significant perl library available (http://wiki.zmanda.com/pod/) and I'm workin on an asynchronous IPC library that you may also find useful (see http://github.com/djmitche/amanda/tree/perltaper/perl/Amanda/IPC/). If you're interested in collaborating on this effort, please connect with us on the amanda-hackers mailing list. --Dustin 09:47, 15 April 2009 (PDT)
