Doing this to a tape also should tell you whether or not the drives
internal compression is in use, which for amanda, should be turned
off as that hides the true size

There is amtapetype, which will destructively write the tape till it
hits EOT, and will tell you the size it found. See the man page for
running options to help speed it up as its quite slow, doing 2

Hi!
I'm using amanda 2.4.4p1 in combination with a Quantum SDLT 320
tape drive. This week I received some replacement tapes for broken
ones.
Using the first tape I got some kind of short write while using
amflush:

Hi, Jon!
Thanks, it worked. After the forced level 0 backup started,

displayed the correct number of days between two full backups. So
it's not really a postponing (like I proposed in the subject) but it
works moving the level 0 backups to the weekend.

Hi!
I'm running the standard strategy for backing up my partitions on
Amanda 2.4.4 . The next level 0 backup for a large partition
is scheduled on a workday during the next week. This backup run
takes about 14 hours, so I would prefer doing it on the weekend.
Is it possible to run this full

Hi!
I've run tapetype on a LTO Ultrium drive and some questions concerning
the results. The tapetype test has been made twice, once with
hardware compression (HC) turned on (by mistake) and once with HC
turned off.
The OS is Linux and 'mt' is telling me actually:

Maybe you hit what Gene describes in another posting today.
Once a tape has been written to with HW compression, the drive senses it

Hi all,
I'm going to buy a Quantum SDLT 320 to backup our servers. Reading
through the FAQ-O-MATIC I found that the smaller drive seems to
run with amanda.
Before spending the money I just wanted to ask if someone is using
this drive?
I think there shouldn't be any problems but I wanted to ask
Hi!
What will happen, if I amflush all the backups in a holding disk
to tape and the size of my backups is bigger than my tape
capacity?
Will amflush write on tape what's fitting, send a little
error and everything is ok or will something bad happen?
CU, thanks for your answers
