Yikes! For that, you will have to locate a drive and tape format that will hold it in one tape. Or, you have to use a split/join utility to break it up into tapable sized pieces that are each an independant file to the filesystem. Amanda cannot span one file across more than one tape, and because of the potentials for a disaster in such things as re-ordering the tapes on recovery, or any one of the other things that Mr. Murphy is famous for, it isn't likely that amanda ever will have that ability programmed in. -- Cheers, Gene AMD K6-III@500mhz 320M Athlon1600XP@1400mhz 512M 99.18% setiathome rank, not too shabby for a WV hillbilly
