If you want something easier and can live with disk based backups instead
of tape, look at backuppc (http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/). I still
run amanda because I set it up about 10 years ago and never have to do
anything but change the tapes, but I take the tapes offsite and would
only restore from them after a disaster. For day-to-day stuff it is much
easier to grab a copy or do a restore from the on-line web interface of
backuppc.
I combine this with dump to an external USB drive. I stop the BackupPC
service during the dump to idle the system. If you use LVM, you could
instead generate a filesystem snapshot and dump that. (I didn't know about
the snapshot feature until I'd already installed CentOS 5 and it used the
whole partition for the volume.)
