If you upgrade to Amanda 2.5.x, then you can instruct Amanda to split dumps 
across tapes; so you can make your partitions as large as you like, and just 
use as many tapes as are required.

The tricky part of this path is that if you have a single large filesystem 
(and a few smaller ones), the single large one will dominate your tape usage, 
resulting in an unbalanced backup window.
