Yeah, the docs suck, but the main problem is that Amanda was designed
to relieve the backup operator from a number of decisions that they
expect to have to make.  So when they look for instructions on how to
make the decisions in the manual, they can't find it, because it's not
there (*).  What Amanda really needs is a transition guide.  IIRC the
chapter written by John R. Jackson for W. Curtis Preston's book was
supposed to be a pretty good introduction.  See www.amanda.org for an
explanation.

`How do I log in?' :-)
