Now that statement isn't quite accurate.  Amanda doesn't do backups.  
Amanda schedules them and runs external programs to actually get the bits 
off the disks.  The fact that there is no 'dump' for ReiserFS is nobody's 
fault but the ReiserFS team.  And no, I don't want to start a FS holy war 
here.

In your dumptypes in amanda.conf, specify 'program "GNUTAR"'.
