Note that you should **not** use both hardware and software compression.
Pick one or the other. Trying to put an already (software) compressed
image on tape via hardware compression may not even give you the
non-compressed capacity listed for the device.

The standard solution is to use GNU tar and logically (to Amanda) break
up the partition into individually backed up pieces. There are tricks
to auto-manage this and group things, but they still use this basic plan.
