People who don't know/understand amanda think that things like defining backup schedules (as in level 0s on this day, 1 on that day, ..) is critical, and for that you may want a GUI. (Note the may, i remember spending hours defining backup schedules with a really really stupid GUI of a now defunct product.) With amanda, the administration part of backups is rather limited, so may be if you make your customers understand that they won't care so much anymore.
