I remember Amanda fondly from the days when I was backing up a labs
machine to DATs. And while I see the benefit of using a tool with which
you're familiar, you might want to look at alternatives like Bup, Borg,
Restic, Bupstash, ... (or even Rsync/Rsnapshot).
Amanda was designed specifically to work efficiently when backing up to
a tape device. If, like most people nowadays, you backup to something
like an HDD or SSD, Amanda is IMO overly complex and slow and doesn't
give you as much functionality as more modern alternatives (alternatives
which simply wouldn't work when backing up to a tape).

I have one that's software controllable but it's not great for my purpose, which is doing the K and M parts of a poor man's KVM switch.

AFAIK 2T for $27 doesn't exist yet in the current real world.
You can find a fair number of creatively sized USB disks in that price
range, but they are lying (tho admittedly, they tend to lye in a more
obvious way with claimed capacities of 30TB or even more).
This doesn't pass my scam detector. I hope it's wrong for once.

I bought a couple 2T's to replace 2 1T's I had outgrown and had close to 70,000 spining hours on the. They lasted a bit less than 30 days, dropping off the sata cables connecting then, never to be found again. Then I find they were shingled tech, and helium filled so the heads flew lower. But I have experience with helium in large car load qty's of it and in 30 days I can guarantee those drives no longer had any Helium in them if there was any positive pressure inside them. This was about a year after JFK launched his effort to put men on the moon the first time. A bank of 16 monel bottles, each about a foot in diameter and maybe 12 feet long, pumped up to about 7500 psia for the night at midnight at Stellardyne labs in Sandy Eggo while testing the atlas stuff that gave John Glenn his 1st full orbital ride, were down to around 5800 psia at 8 the next morning when the day shift got there. The Helium atom is so small it creeps between the atoms of tha monel, the best alloy for that. and heads for outer space never to be seen again. And that was considered normal, and better thn the 50,000 gallon steel tank that caught and recyled the test cells output, we had a 6 stage cardox compress in the back yard that suck from that big tank and put it back on those monel bottles. With a guvmnt truck bringing in new to replace it 2x a week. In those days the guv automatically owned any helium recovered from deep in mines by air reduction techniques. It's a precious commodity, worth close to $100,000 a truckload in $1.75 min wage days. When its gone, its gone and we will exhaust the planets supply by filling party balloons with it. Filling hard drives with it to make the heads fly lower is idiocy. Regardless of how thick you cast the alu or pot metal of a drive housing, it will be gone much quicker than those monel bottles allowed. They (Seagate) could have gotten a longer term lower head fly by sealing them up in a vacuum equ to the top of Everest. Like Albert Eintsein said, the 2 most common things in the universe are stupidity and hydrogen, in that order. You may not have arrived yet Karl, but I was there, busy testing the fuel pressure regulators for Atlas rockets and keeping my wife barefoot and pregnant, her choice for both. Take care, stay warm, dry and well Karl. Cheers, Gene Heskett. -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

I suppose helium is not required for SMR drives and could be used in CMR drives too... Western Digital at least claims to have solved the leaking problem with helium and since they've been making those drives for over a decade, I think it's solved. Really a shame how the whole SMR mess happened. For the last decade or so I thought I can just double the size of my little "stuff" server (mirrored 1 TB drives) by bigger 2.5" drives. But no, first they came out with fat 2 TB drives and then the slim drives all went SMR. There was a time when suitable drives were available but I wasn't shopping then. So instead of replacing just the drives, I replaced everything. The new server is way faster and has a lot more storage but it's also noisier and slower to wake due to the 3.5" drives.
