Amanda is sort-of tuned to work with tapes with the unique feature of
being able to pre-estimate the sizes of full and incremental runs and
pick the right mix across a set of hosts each day to fill a tape.   If
you don't need that feature it probably won't be your first choice.

The most unique thing about backuppc is that it has its own
implementation of rsync that can work with the compressed archive
files on the server and a stock remote rsync version accessing the
target files.   Or, it can use tar or samba to transfer the files,
with all duplicate files pooled regardless of the location or transfer
method.  And it has a nice web interface for
configuration/browsing/restores.
