Hello, world:
We've decided to use AMANDA for our backups; there are two
configurations, one runs normally, and the other is for offsite
backups. The standard configuration works fine, but the offsite
configuration is having problems with its holding disk; after dumping
only a few filesystmes AMANDA decides there is insufficient holding
space.
*** THE DUMPS DID NOT FINISH PROPERLY!
*** A TAPE ERROR OCCURRED: [no tape online].
*** PERFORMED ALL DUMPS TO HOLDING DISK.
THESE DUMPS WERE TO DISK. Flush them onto a new tape.
Tonight's dumps should go onto 1 tape: a new tape.
FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY:

This is all fine, except the holding disk is a 45GB disk, and the
dumps from client `cray' take only 1.5GB. There is nothing else on
the disk, and hdc1 on `hopper' is only 8GB.
