Could someone suggest a good reference source on getting started with
Amanda and cdrw-taper in a Linux (Debian 'unstable') environment?

Alternately could someone suggest another backup package that can write
to multiple CDRs, can handle individual files bigger than a CD, and
allows individual file recovery rather than requiring a complete
partition reimage?

Someone suggested afbackup might have CDR facilities - but I couldn't
find anything to this effect. Amanda is bewildering me from a lack of
documentation (and I think I need some cdrw-changer program/patch on top
of cdrw-taper).

Mondo seems to do a filesystem image, and some of the other more basic
CD backup programs won't handle files bigger than a CD. Helllllp :)

Most happy to RTFM - have been having difficulty locating good
references at this point, however.
