Kiffin,
I think you may run into some snags trying to use Amanda in a disk to
disk backup scheme. I use it everyday and it works great. I have also
used it in a mixed (Win/BSD) environment with no problems. I may
suggest you look at the various rsync-based solutions for disk to disk
archivinga. I've personally used rsync-backup (look on freshmeat.net)
with excellent results.

Bob
