Hello Chris Could you explain your concern about multiple volumes? You would normally set up a number of vtapes, and each amanda run would use one or more of them depending on the size of the backup for that particular run. For me I use 20GB volumes as it replaced an old DDS4 robot. I have about 40 in the pool (the NAS is 1TB) and each run uses anywhere between 2 and 6 volumes (the largest being when one of the client machines' partition get a full, and the smallest when a couple of client machines happen to get L2s lining up)
