I’m using a DLT IV tape drive now (one tape a night), but it’s not big enough. I have 70GB partitions and when they get full, I’ll have problems. If I switch to a DLT tape library (8x40GB), will that solve my problem? Will Amanda split backup across two tapes? Or should I just get a SDLT tape drive (160GB)?

This used to be a weekly question, but now it getting a daily question. :-)

See the last entry in the examples for a disklist (in your sourcedir examples/disklist).

(Split up the big fs in to smaller pieces, using gnutar and include/exclude lists.)
