Waitaminit... this I didn't know. Amanda can't run dumps across tapes? Why
is the runtapes entry even used at all?
So if I use HW compression and set the length at 65 Gb, and I want to do a
"level 0" dump (say it's the first dump, for example) ...
host /filesystem # 40 Gb FS
host /filesystem2 # 20 Gb FS
host /filesystem3 # 20 Gb FS
... Amanda will continue to sense a problem and drop one of the
filesystems from the lineup? I thought that, using "runtapes 2", amanda
would put two of the filesystems on one tape, load the next tape, and
stick the leftover system on it... ?
