Look around for files besides the “service” files, which state what the user name is supposed to be.
my username is “operator”, so grepping for that, I find: amanda-client.conf has a line in it client-username “operator” amanda.conf has a line dumpuser “operator” and when I compiled amanda (which you may not have done, so maybe this doesn’t count) I told it what the username was supposed to be. I *think* that the above files override the compiled value. Try grepping for “backup” in your amanda directory (ies) since that would find backup or amandabackup.
