I think the easiest way would be to use an SSH tunnel. Would this be easy
to implement ? Any examples maybe or pointers on how to acheive that ?
Thanks

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. Good Luck.
