If you are only trying to backup a handful of servers initially it is
very feasible.  One thing that sped up the process for me is that we
share /usr/local across a number of Sun boxen, so when I installed
amanda once I had to just go and configure it.  Other boxes which are
stand-alone took a bit more time.

The thing with amanda is that it is very flexible, which means there is
potentially a lot to configure.  There is, of course, no cute GUI
frontend.  However, once you know your way around and have a working
amanda.conf file and a proper disklist, it's really easy to just add
servers.

Have fun!
