Only partially true. As I said, when you use hardware compression you
have to lie to Amanda about the tape length, inflating the value by the
amount you expect to be able to get. That number is used by planner
when figuring out how much will fit in a run. However when the backups
actually start, Amanda keeps writing to a tape until it gets an error,
and ignores the tape length in amanda.conf.
