I've been using GenesAmandaHelper-0.61 (on my web page, see sig) for several years, but it doesn't address those points. Its an amanda wrapper in a bash script. What it does, is facilitate a bare metal recovery to the exact state of the last backup, by appending a copy of amanda's database stuff and configuration directories to the end of the current backup after amanda is finished, or as separate files if using vtapes on a separate hard drive like I've been doing for years. One could even add to it, the amanda home dir where I build it for the install, so that the complete amanda src/install tree is available. I just never got around to doing that.
