# WHATPORT(10082)

## NAME

port 10082 — amandaidx (Amanda index server) — The Amanda backup server's index service, used by amrecover to browse what was backed up.

Protocol: TCP  
IANA registry

## DESCRIPTION

IANA registers 10080 as amanda but not 10082; the number comes from Amanda's own source, which sets INDEX_PORT=10082 and TAPE_PORT=10083. The index server lets an amrecover client list the contents of past backups and select files, then 10083 (amidxtape) streams the data back off the media. You find it on Amanda backup servers, normally alongside 10080. Nmap sees it open on about 0.02% of scanned hosts.

## EXPOSURE

**Do not expose.** Amanda's recovery services authenticate largely by host and, once reached, expose a catalog of everything backed up plus the ability to restore from it. Keep them on a dedicated backup network.

## CHECK

```sh
nc -vz TARGET 10082
```
