In addition to the comments from Johannes Niess, there is experimental
(but stable, from all accounts) code in the Amanda CVS tree based on
2.4.2 that allow you to treat a directory as a pseudo tape. This has
some advantages over the "leave it in the holding disk" approach because
Amanda will do a better job of incrementals.
The branch to get is amanda-242-tapeio.
