I have no idea whether Amanda can do that, but what I have done could be useful. Back up to external drive A, using Amanda's virtual tape setup. Have two more expternal drives, B and C. Swap between them. One is installed and the other off site, with weekly rotation. Use a script based on rsync to keep the installed one up to date. The application here is: If you can rsync to Amazon, you're in. Or forget Amazon and just do what I do, rotate between two drives. (Why use an external drive for A? So you can move it to another machine if you need to.)
