AFAIK, and if I may loosely compare RAIT to RAID, there is no RAIT0, so
to speak. Meaning that RAIT doesn't give you a larger 'virtual' backup
media, it merely allows to 'mirror' your backup to two (or more?) devices.
Amanda can do what you want, but this doesn't involve RAIT. If you want
a single backup run to use 5 DDS2 tapes, you should set 'numtapes' to 5
in amanda.conf and configure a changer. If you don't have an actual tape
changer hardware, you can configure a 'human' changer using chg-manual.
