Dear Sirs.
I installed amanda 2.4.2p1 and I use HP's SureStore 40x6i
autoloader as backup system.
For all backuped filesystems I wih to use gnutar - and use it
with success - on drives with a capacity less than one
tape's capacity!
Each cartridges is labeled with an individual label, and counts
up to 30, five cartridges per magazine plus one slot cleaning
cartridge per magazine.
Our user space RAID is about 200 GB in size - and I wish to backup this
amount by using the multivolume facility of TAR - but amanda reports a
failure - dump size is bigger than tape size (?). I do not use
dump, I configured tar and I do not understand why it is impossible to span
a backuped volume over multiple tapes. it seems, that amanda wish to backup
one filesystem completely on one labeled tape - in this case, it is more
than seneseless for me to backup our RAID system.
Do I have to label a complete magazine with each slot (6 times) with the same
label to target this?
