It won't help with your current situation, but it does everything you want
and is much easier to configure (via gui) than anything else I've seen.

I ended up writing a script to use the commmand 'vos dump' to dump each
AFS volume to a local disk partition, then back up that partition with
standard backup utilities. The 'vos dump' command creates a file on the
local disk that contains the entire volume, including all of the ACLs.
Since you can have links in AFS to the same volume multiple times, it's a
lot safer to do volume-based backups rather than walking AFS.
I could get you a copy of my dump script if you're interested; I'd just
have to scrub out all of our site-specific information.

I have lost a fileserver because of a corruption on the reiserfs v3.
Something like 1000 volumes and 100GB of data were lost. The backups
were made using amanda with standard tar.
My problem is the recovering of the data to the surviving filesystem
is taking too much time. Something like 7 hours to recover 7 GB.
Will I need 100hours to recover from tar 100GB?
What did you tar up? I can think of a lot of possibilities (the raw namei
filesystem, the contents of AFS archived with admin credentials, tarballs
of volume dumps), and the answer somewhat depends.
I have tarballs with the contents of AFS using admin credentials.
Note that you'll have to manually repair the acls; tar doesn't save
them.
It's on my todo list, to find a command to export and import AFS
acls. So it can be collected by tar.
