What do people think about my proposed solution to this problem

Problem
-------
Filesysteem needs to be backed up using amanda. Level 0 doesn't fit on a
single tape anymore (after compression)

Solutions
---------
a) By a tape unit which can hold more data (expensive)

b) Wait for multi-tape support in amanda (ETA ?)

c) Split the filesystem on the server

d) let amanda believe that the filesystem is split
    - create two dumptype, each with a seperate exclude list
    - add two entries to the disklist with seperate dump type (will
      amanda backup the same partition twice ?)
    - (if the above step doesn't work) create a new /dev/rdsk/.. entry
      pointing to the same device but with a different name


Do you think d) can be made to work ?

Kris,
