Hi.
I am definetly going to need to back up filesystems that are larger than
the
capacity of a single tape (SDLT).  Apparently, amanda has a limitation
with this.
True?  Any idea when it will be able to do this?
Thanks.

Note, it reported the filesystem containing
/usr/local/var/amanda/gnutar-lists
was full, not your vtape filesystem.
