Hi,
I'm using amanda now for quite a long time to backup 8 unix hosts on a 4
Gig DAT streamer (uncompressed). Over the course of time, data volume grew
larger and now amanda permanently refuses to backup volume sdb1 on host
sheena:
sheena sdb1 lev 0 FAILED [dumps too big, but cannot
sure this volume is quite close to 4 gigs, but compressed with gzip it has
something about 2 gigs which should fit on a tape easily.
If the 4 GB volume compresses to 2 GB then you can use software
compression to get your level 0 dump. Just use one of the dumptypes
that says 'compress client
