I had AMANDA installed as an RPM through synaptic, so I'm sure it had all kinds of default options. I tried to just change the dump user wherever I could find it. I noticed that some apps were still running as "amanda" so I uninstalled the RPM and manually compiled instead with the user=backup.

If the latter, some part of the install procedure needs to be checked. But I suspect that is not the case. -- Jon H.
