Amanda is targetted at a 'bare-metal' restore. One needs the basic OS
tools installed on the machine to allow:
1. Tape media to be accessed
2. Filesystem restore program used
That's about it. Further instructions on amanda.org.
I've been running amanda for 4+ years, no complaints. I would say that for
backuping up a single machine, amanda is overkill.
