AFAICT, this doesn't really split the tar but tries to create separate tars
of subdirectories. Unfortunately RMAN puts it all in one directory (There
may be a way to split it -- I'm checking into that too).
You're incorrect -- as of 2.5.x amanda can span a single DLE across
multiple tapes.
Is it possible to get amanda to follow symlinks? Every file name ends in a
digit is it is trivial to do something like:
As other folks have mentioned (I believe), you can split a single
directory up with include and/or exclude directives in the DLEs.
