Hi Robert,
I by no means an Amanda expert, however I am pretty sure you can mix
dump and gnutar in your backups. I think it is simply a matter of
adjusting the entries in your disklist. I have been able to use both
dump and gnutar without problems. You may need to make sure that your

I don't think I have all the answers to all of your questions, but I did
see a few things that you may want to check into further.
First, I would take a closer look at the chunksize entry in the
