I've been testing out the Amanda backup system lately; and am wondering about security on it.
As I understand the documentation, backing up Windows machines is done with tar or smbtar from a Samba server; which is plaintext. Also, while Amanda can use Kerberos authentication; it doesn't mention encrypting the backup traffic.

so how can one go about securing Amanda traffic?
