AMANDA is nice, and does a pretty good job. The major limitation
that it has (or rather had when I last used it about a year ago)
is that it can't span a single dump/tar/whatever archive over
multiple tapes. If your partition doesn't fit on a tape, you're
pretty SOL. You might be able to hack around it by splitting things
up a bit, but at the scale this guy's talking about it might not make
a whole lot of sense.
