I have checked the conditions for an official backport of amanda in Debian, but I think there is not demand enough. I have made an non official backport of amanda 3.5.1 for Debian stretch amd64 because of new features, fixes bugs and to support my users. You can download the tar file with the debs from here.

Because of the upgrade of perl, amanda is currently broken on testing and unstable on Debian. The problem is known and I am working with my sponsor to create new packages to solve the problem. Please hang a little more.
