<refsect1><title>How to Create Passphrase</title>
-Store the passphrase 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

<refsect1><title>NOTES</title>
<para>Choose a good passphrase and protect it properly. Backup data can only be
restored with the passphrase. There is no backdoor.</para>

+Amanda provide public-key data encryption through &amgpgcrypt;. Public-key
encryption uses the public key to encrypt and uses the private key to decrypt.</para>
