I suppose dividing the image using tar actually means putting different
entries for each dire
Sorry. Must have been sleeping.
Using changers with RAIT isn't easy. Luckily I had written my own
changer program[me] to make multiple changers appear as one to
Amanda (which only understands one), and it was pretty easy to
modify that to support RAIT. It also fakes a bar code reader, so

That's nice to hear. It is a good use for RAIT.

Good point :).
Another solution is RAIT. I back up to five Exabyte EXB10e units as a
RAIT.
I get 20GB max. image size using 5GB tapes, and multiple tapes per run

He will have to use tar, and break that filesystem up
Yes it is. You need to use a tape changer script.
See docs/TAPE.CHANGERS.
You can either use a real tape changer, or set up several drives and

Hi all,
I have a backup image of some size greater than the tape size. Is
multiple tapes in single run support available in amanda. If not how
to go about this issue? What kind of configuration is needed in this
