It can use multiple tapes, however a single image may not (yet) span
tapes, i.e. each backup image must fit on a single tape.
I'm working on the tape spanning code (literally) right now. It will
hopefully be ready very soon.
In the meantime, the standard solution is to use GNU tar and to back up
subsets of your system that will fit on a tape.

I don't run Linux, but from previous letters on this list, I believe
it's done like this:
mt -f /dev/whatever compression off
I'd suggest "man mt" to be sure.
