I especially like info provided by http://wiki.zmanda.com./ It seems Amanda wiki is written by users for users and is really helpful not just for newbies but also for advanced Amanda users.

Amanda provides all functionality you need for backup and recovery to disk and tape. As a matter of fact it can write the very same backup data to tape and disk at the same time by using RAIT-2. Commercial vendors I looked at (Legato Networker and Veritas Netbackup) couldn't do that.

If you have more than 2 or 3 machines that you want to backup to disk and especially tape you need Amanda for automation. After initial setup Amanda doesn't require any babysitting, it just works for you.
