Amanda is, at its core, just a wrapper around GNU Tar (or dump, or any
number of other data-handling programs).  If you're doing a one-shot
project like this, then Amanda will just be in your way.  Instead,
quiesce the server, tar it up to tape or a NAS or what have you, and
then untar it on the new hardware.
