I just checked the "webmin" pages (web based sysadm functions); seems like it would be a good unifying framework for this. Amanda is on their "wish list" but no one has yet volunteered to coordinate/write it. I've never understood how you could take something complex and make it easy by slapping a GUI on it, but webmin has modules for sendmail config and other nontrivial packages. Would be a cool hack...
