I recommend you put a real host name in there instead of "localhost".
If you ever need to move to a new server, that name will be wrong.

If you are using GNU tar to do backups, Amanda runs it as root so you do
not need to make any special arrangements. If you are using a system
dump program, you'll need to put the raw disk devices in a group the
Amanda user (e.g. "operator") is a member of. In either case, you do
not need to do anything special to /home or anything inside it.
