This is more than necessary. Create a group specifically for backups,
say "disk". Then set (amanda is my AMANDA user):
(from my /etc/permissions.secure)
/usr/lib/amanda/calcsize root.disk 4754
/usr/lib/amanda/dumper root.disk 4754
/usr/lib/amanda/planner root.disk 4754
/usr/lib/amanda/runtar root.disk 4754
/usr/bin/amcheck root.disk 4754
# Tape devices used by amanda. Change aproppriately.
#
/dev/qft0 amanda.disk 600
/dev/nqft0 amanda.disk 600
If you use dump, you have to give the AMANDA user access to the raw
devices of the partition you plan to dump, as John already said.
That's all :-)
