I use "dump" to backup 2Gb partitions on an HP DAT unit. It comes
with with a very good man page which describes how to stagger the tape
backups. Note that the latest versions in unstable don't seem to work
well with the latest e2fsprogs; use the versions in stable:
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge
| Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed
|/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)

hi e2fsprogs 1.10-2 The EXT2 file system utilities.
hi dump 0.3-14 Ported 4.4BSD dump and restore utilities.
