amanda 3.3 and before do not have crc check.
crc check is already in the development tree and will be included in the
next major release.
Restoring from a corrupted archive depend of the tool used.
gtar can generally restore corrupted archive, some manual
intervention can be required.
software compressed dump are not recoverable.

What mechanisms does amanda provide to guarantee the following:
1) what was on the original drive is what is sent to the backup server
2) what was sent to the backup server is what's written to the archive
3) what's written to the archive is what's rerouted from backup
4) that any errors encountered at any of the above, or any other step
in the backup process can be recovered from, at least up to a certain
level of resiliency
I've scoured the faq and manuals and don't recall seeing answers to
any of this.
