I finally got encryption working a lot of trial and error thanks mostly to Dustin Mitchell and asking questions on the gpg discussion list.

 

I gave up on aespipe because it just didn’t seem to want to work on Solaris. I then tried to use amgpgcrypt and finally got that to work. Here are 2 links I needed to set up what I needed to get it working:

 

http://www.zmanda.com/quick-backup-setup.html to setup amgpg crypt and http://amanda.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/amanda/amanda/trunk/common-src/amgpgcrypt.pl?view=markup for the script that was needed. On the second link you will  need to change @PERL@ to your perl interpreter, and @CLIENT_LOGIN@ to 'amanda' (or whatever you used for --with-user=).

 

The backup worked great but then I had trouble getting amrecover to work and kept getting the error:

 

ld.so.1: gpg: fatal: libgcc_s.so.1: open failed: No such file or directory

 

To fix that one I went to the link: http://bwachter.lart.info/solaris/solfaq.html - Section "Configure the dynamic linker"

 

This is very brief and if you need further explanation I will attempt to do so.
