"backup" is in /etc/group under the group disks.

disk:x:6:backup and under /dev/ sd??'s are group disk

/var/backups/.amandahosts has,

localhost backup

the holding disk is set to backup:backup

but I dont think its getting that far.

I fogot to mention this is a Debian 2.2r2 machine and im backing up the
server itself
