It depends on what you want.  Amanda has a fairly horrible
user interface but once you get it set up all you ever
have to do is change tapes sometime during the day and
it sends email about any problems.  If you forget to
change the tape it will save the dumps on a holding
disk where you can flush them later.  I use it for
tapes that get rotated offsite, but also run backuppc
which keeps compressed copies on disk for easy access
with a web browser.
