Amanda is no a GUI, thats the beauty. Amanda is a little tricky to setup, but once you get the hand of it its very good. The later versions, too, overcame one of its drawbacks not being able to do a backup of a larger filesystem onto a smaller tape AND to backup onto multiple tapes. Dont use a GUI, learn to work with text files. There are lots of entries in the wicki to solve your problems.
