Title: RE: support for backup images larger than the tape drive

How are you getting more than one tape to be used? I set runtapes to 2 and the second tape is loaded but the write fails.

taper: tape VIEO-MONTHLYA001 kb 19349600 fm 26 writing file: No space left on device
taper: retrying parody://aly/c.0 on new tape: [writing file: No space left on device]
taper: tape VIEO-MONTHLYA002 kb 0 fm 0 [OK]

another day it was:
driver: FATAL driver received unexpected token (QUITTING) from taper

That's correct.

That's no problem.  We run four or more tapes per night per configuration
here regularly.
