Amanda can easily be run in a backup-to-disk-only mode. And it'd be trivial to manually tape some of those images for off-site storage. Doing that within amanda (i.e. backup-to-tape while also leaving images on disk) is a feature folks have talked about.

Excellent!

The question is how seemless is it? Can they stream out their images into a tape archive? It should be possible.

What about importing back a stream from a tape archive into a disk image? That also should be possible.

Again, replicating the on-disk backups onto tape would, at this point, be a manual process. Code contributions are welcome. ;)
