One last issue. Am I correct in saying that the best way to circumvent
the limintation of Amanda not being able to split filesystem dumps
across tapes, is to make sure that the partitions only are about 50 GB?
(With 72 GB tapes.) So, basically, have several seperate home
partitions...

*Or* you can use tar as your backup program and just specify
subdirectories of the partitions, i.e. /home/user1, /home/user2, etc are
all separate DLEs.

What's a DLE? :-)
