There is support for kerberos, which does two things

The first step is actually quite important. Without it, someone else
can run a backup and get your bits sent to them, even if they are

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.

Amanda has little concept of security and relies on DNS lookups/usernames
for any sort of authentication. You can augment this with

There is a patch which will allow the SSL encryption of the amanda dump
images. It is pretty good, since you can specify in a dumptype if you
