Store the passphrase that you used in following "gpg \-\-gen\-key" command inside the home\-directory of the AMANDA\-user($amanda_user) and protect it with proper permissions:
- echo my_secret_passphrase > ~$amanda_user/\.am_passphrase
- chown $amanda_user:disk ~$amanda_user/\.am_passphrase
- chmod 700 ~$amanda_user/\.am_passphrase
