You haven't described what that requirement is so you should be careful of the answers you get! Amanda backups can use a version of the GNU tar which can be used to generate tar type backups if that is what you require. If you don't have a requirement for generating tape indexes, etc. you don't seem to get much benefit from using amanda to manage the write out to tape. However, there is the matter of transporting the data between backup servers for which amanda does seem to add some benefit. This is not much of an answer, so I hope it helps you a little.
