I'm current looking into Amanda and planning on using it with a Compaq 8
tape 20/40 DAt autoloader. From what I can see Amanda does not support
spanning a backup onto multiple tapes. What do I do to make a backup
that uses all 8 tapes? I suppose I could split it into 8 seperate
backups - how would I go about this?
Also: I anybody has any experience with one of these autoloaders any
help would be highly appreciated.

amanda won't span a single backup extent across tapes, but will span
complete daily backups over tapes.
ie if you backup /usr/local and it's bigger than a single tape it won't
span. but if your config has multiple disk's mentioned it will span the
whole archive over many tapes.
you can get around this by using gnutar as the underlying backup medium
and splitting the individual partitions up so they will fit onto a tape.,
