I used Amanda about 6 years ago when I was responsible for *nix systems in the Engineering department at the university.

If I reemember correctly the feature you ask for ("One feature that I hope gets added is the ability to span a single dump on multiple tapes.") was talked about then as an imporatant priority. I wouldn't hold high hopes. :) On the other hand I was quite happy with it. I found it easier to use than what my fellow Novell/Windows admistrator used (some monster running an NLM in the Novell server controlled with a Windows client).
