I've had nice luck using Bacula in the past. There is a learning curve to it, but once you're past the hills it's very nice.
It sounds that you're wanting to backup data from a USB drive to the LTO tapes? Do the USB drives get changed out? If so, you might be just as simply to us tar directory to write the contents to the tapes. Using Amanda/Bacula/other backup software usually doesn't handle backing up FROM removable media in the most intuitive way.
