A perfectly reasonable mandate IMO.

The easy way to add it would be to use sslwrap: http://www.rickk.com/sslwrap/ 

The nice thing about sslwrap is that it can be layered onto any 
existing service without any modification to the services you wish to 
encrypt.

The other, probably more complicated, though possibly more secure
method is to tunnel amanda through ssh.

Also, a Google search turned this up:

I have no idea how well it works.
