I just wrote in another response that a design goal of
amanda was to be able to recover the backed-up data from
the tape without amanda software being available.

Got me to thinking, has this objective been broken when
using striping in RAIT configuration?

If not, what non-amanda tools allow extraction of
a stripped dump file?
