Hi group,
    I finally got SCO unix to perform a dump via amanda client. Thank 
you everyone for your help.
    Now that the first dump somewhat worked I have more questions.
    Two of the file systems had errors dumping. I am attempting to 
backup 2x 45GB and 2x 9 GB file systems. I'm using a DLT tape changer. 
The errors came backs as:

*hostname* /u lev 0 FAILED [dumps too big, but cannot incremental dump new disk] 
*hostname* /u5 lev 0 FAILED [dumps too big, but cannot incremental dump new disk]

These are one one of each size file system (/u=9GB, /u5=45GB) so amanda 
did dump both a 9GB and a 45GB file system to the tape. I was hoping 
that amanda would load the another tape to finnish the dump but only one 
tape was used. The report emailed to me said that only 60% of the tape 
was used. Why didn't the one of the other two tapes get used? If you 
need my "tape type" configuration or any other info I'll send it.

thanks,
chris
