I did it by dividing the data to be backed up into pieces -- on the host
and in the disklist (many DLEs, but none > ~20GB). Amanda whines about
'too big' at first, but backs up what it can get on the tape. After a
few backups, level 0s of all the pieces have been done, and the planner
does incrementals with no problems.
