Is it possible to make amanda follow symlinks?

I have a disk that has grown larger than the tape used and need a way to 
backup this disk without splitting it into different disks. I made a script 
that creates a few directories and populate these with symlinks to the 
large disk. Treating these directories as seperate disks should work if I 
could only get amanda to follow symlinks.

The faq has a mention about creating a wrapper around tar - amtar. But, if 
I understand correct, this will make amanda follow symlinks in all 
situations. What is needed is an option that will pass "--dereference" to tar.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Kasper



(Im running amanda 2.4.3b1)
