Thanks Gordon.  Tivoli sounds like an interesting enterprise system.

"incremental forever" is a feature I've heard of in some other
backup systems.  I wouldn't expect that to fit the mold of amanda
as recovery would then truly demand amanda software and indexes
to be present.

One feature you describe I would like to see added to amanda.
It really is not a change to the operation, but a new utility.
That is copying all or portions of a set of backups to new
"tapes" or a new config.  With many people doing amanda backups
to vtapes, it would be nice to be able to archive desired
parts to "offsite" ptapes.
