I wanted to enable gzip compression on my backups since i want to

accomodate lots of data on to a 40GB tape, At present I am using

define dumptype root-tar {
    global
    program "GNUTAR"
    comment "root partitions dumped with tar"
    compress none
    index
    priority low
}

The magic command for the "light on this" is "man amanda".  :-)
Then, if there happen to be some dark corners, feel free to ask again.
