amanda the piss-you-off-backup-solution

Hello dear tards.
How are you?
I'm fucking pissed.
I need to set up a backup solution for our new servers and my boss wants a free and easy solution.
So i thought how about amanda. There are enough forums/threads to help you with any problem. But oh fuck-you that is not the case.
So i come here to ask for your help. Anyone a amanda-crack?
thanks in advance
chris

should i have mentioned that i'm using amanda 2.5.0, because boss wants CentOS 5.6 and on this somehow only 2.5.0 is available..
