I found about this PCI based hardware products from Indra Networks which can
make backup of Amanda faster and also encrypt the data. See if you find this
useful. I have not used this personally, but looks like good help.
I assume this is an encryption coprocessor, and it's worth noting that
this only helps if the apps Amanda is using for encryption are
compiled to support it.

I wish this gateway worked better, and that there was some clear
indication on it that it posts to a busy mailing list, rather than a
web forum.
Just FYI, this exact message, using the same or similar user names, has
been "spammed" to other forums as well. It appeared on
Linuxquestions.org today just tacked onto a thread where I had been
helping someone work through some issues with their Amanda
configuration. It was the first post on that forum by "encryptionfunda".
The product is real, and I found postings earlier of people actually
using it, but I find it slightly annoying to have a pure advertisement
posted to the list as though it were an innocent discovery by a user.
Here it is kind of out of the blue. On the linuxquestions thread, it was
almost a complete non sequitur, leaving me scratching my head thinking
"huh?"
