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.
