All this is possible David, but needs someone to do it. So far our list
of volunteers is pretty slim. I once wrote a script that added amanda's
database to the end of the vtape amanda had just made, making a bare
metal recovery to the state it had just reported instead of a bare metal
being one run out of date, but I did that in bash. I've never did
anything to amanda itself except compile it, its old perl, old python
and probably older bash, all dumped into the same bowl and the mixer
turned on high. Amanda, right now, needs 15 years of catchup tlc. I
haven't even tried to build it since wheezy and I have far newer srcs
than the current 3.51 here. While I have the /home/amanda dir with all
that it , i'd have to create anew amanda user with passwd-less access to
the system to even attempt a build of what I have.
Perhaps it is time to switch to another backup system, or build your own.
