OK, I said "basically" :-)

In the simplest scenario (assuming you're not doing any complicated
authentication of client/server) is that you will need to set
/etc/amandahosts on the client to contain the FQDN of the server and the
backup user, e.g.

ourbackupserver.our.domain backup

Unless you have further preferences or requirements, that should be
enough to get that client being backed up.
