Hello,

I have read that AMANDA can not handle backup "images"
larger than a single tape.  If that is true, what is the
point of a tape changer?  Is it just to change tapes between
backup images/days?

My current backup method is to use dump with an expect script
written around it, which calls a perl script that I wrote to
change tapes each time it asks for a new tape.  It's not the
best way of doing things, and I'd like to use amanda, but I have
a 60GB hard drive to back up, with an ADIC 12-tape autoloader
(DDS-2 4/8GB tapes).

Am I correct in my understanding that AMANDA won't work for me?

Thanks,
-Paul
