Toomas,

GNU tar 1.13 should be good; The real troublemaker is tar 1.14, which will 
silently corrupt your archives and throw away data. Unfortunately, some 
distributions patch their tar with other code, so some versions of tar 1.13 
are problematic, whereas some versions of tar 1.14 are perfectly fine.

That said, however:

No, Amanda will even use dump to generate indices. So actually you don't need 
tar at all.

Cheers,
