Sorry if this is covered elsewhere, but I couldn't find anything about it.
My understanding of the way that amanda works is that it streams the 
dump file to the holding disk on the tapehost, and then that gets written to
the tape.  In my case, an x86 linux box is the tapehost, and it backs up
some solaris boxes.  So my question is, what happens when it's backing
up a filesystem that is larger than the 2gb filesize limit?  I have run
into that problem trying to restore a large solaris filesystem dump, how
does it backup large filesystems like that?
