Last I checked, Amanda suffers the same problem Thomas is trying to
avoid - single volumes cannot span multiple tapes.  I like and use
amanda also so I've simple structured my data to avoid the problems
mentioned.

Awhile back somebody released some amanda-afs scripts, I had some
difficulty getting them to work properly, but it still won't increase
the capacity of your tape hardware.
