  Of course you're talking about AMANDA's inability to split
filesystems across tapes.  That's being worked on, and I believe it's
working in some of the later development snapshots.  Not sure though.

  Anyway, to actually answer your question...I'm using an Exabyte
EXB-480 juke which holds 80 160m Exabyte tapes, using four EXB-8505XL
drives.  They get around 7-8gb on a tape.  My largest filesystem
is about 5gb.
