Amanda is a backup manager, not a security manager. There are no steps taken to ensure the security of the backups. Several solutions are available, though:
- Use the Kerberos support built in to Amanda. I've never played with this. - Use tar with a wrapper script on the client that encrypts the backup before sending it. You might be able to find samples of this in the list archives. - Use an encrypted VPN (CIPE, FreeSWAN, SSHTunnel) between servers. This is the method I used, because I use the same tunnel for monitoring and file transfers. Search the list, think about what method fits your needs. Feel free to ask more questions.
