hi,
I have 2 questions:
1) what are you using as system to back up : "tar | dump"
-tar :advantage: The tar is independent of the FileSystem and it could
work also on an active partition
-dump: I can't see any advantage?
2)I'm using amanda with "dump" for 8 months and now every run we are
almost fulling a tape.
-I change the disklist by replacing the nocomp-user with user-tar
-I thought that in this way the transition will be smooth.
But I get this message from amanda

So I'm strongly suspecting that amanda is not stocking the information
of:
-what was done before
-and what it has to do.
So If you have already experienced this or If you just know how to make
this transition..
don't hesitate !!
Thanks in advance
