Hi all:
Recently I setup amanda 2.4.p2 on our Solaris system, it seems working fine.
I'm using a HP DDS2 tape which has a 4GB capacity, I got the following
tapetype value from this mailing list:
define tapetype HP-DDS2 {
comment "HP DDS2"
# data got from amanda email archive
length 3780 mbytes
filemark 3 kbytes
speed 380 kbytes
}
Following is part of my Amanda report:

Filesystems Taped 9 6 3 (1:3)
Avg Tp Write Rate (k/s) 419.5 419.8 411.8
The report says my Tape Size is only 2GB, and the Output Size is 2GB also.
Thus some of my file system failed dumping to the tape because the dump is
too big(it's not correct, that file system is only 900MB).
I also noticed the Tape Used value is only 50%.
Is my Tapetype setting correct?
Thanks
