- Configure Amanda with --with-ssh-security, it will install dumper/amcheck non-suid.
- Set "auth ssh" in the dumptype
- Both server and client must be configured exactly the same amanda username and location of amandad binaries needs to be the same or you can use amandad_path and client_username to specify path to amandad binary and client user name in dumptype definition in amanda.conf respectively.
- Run ssh-keygen to generate ssh keys
# ssh-keygen -t rsa
It will create ~amanda_user/.ssh/id_rsa and ~amanda_user/.ssh/id_rsa.pub files. Copy ~amanda_user/.ssh/id_rsa.pub to the client machine through a secure channel and append it to amanda_user/.ssh/authorized_keys Example for secure channel for copying files: copy id_rsa.pub to a floppy or flash drive and hand carry to the client machine.
# chmod 600 ~amanda_user/.ssh/authorized_keys
- Run ssh-add
{will prompt for the passphrase}
{it will add the RSA identities to the authentication agent}
- Run amdump to do backups
