I have a filesystem that's 26 gb but my tapes are dat dds3 12-24gb tapes, so

Use tar and back-up sub-directories...

Unless you rebuild with --with-samba-user.
I've been looking at the latest 2.4.2p2 sources, and I can't find any
place where it still might be doing this ...

How would taper compare the tape contents to the files on the disk
while backing up?
It depends on which files on the disk you mean. If you mean the holding
disk, that's trivial since taper is reading it to write to the tape.
If you mean the files back on the client, that's hopeless. The

The user name is now part of the amandapass file. See the docs/SAMBA

Another question, besides amdump creating the index file and amrecover
using the index file, are there any other amanda utilities that use the
