Hi, that is one of the limitations at the moment: amanda can not spann a single archiv over multiple tapes. You'll have to use exlucelists to split your big partition into multiple smaler ones, preferably smaler than half of the capacity of a single tape. Christoph

Hi I backup onto DDS-2 tapes, so have a limitation of about 3-4GB per tape. The no of tapes is set to 2, so I should be able to backup 6-8GB per run. However, I am unable to tar a single filesystem that is larger than the predicted size of one tape. When I try, I get the error: planner: localhost /home 20030115 0 [dump larger than tape, full dump delayed] The blocksize is set to 499MB, so surely amanda should tar in 499MB blocks until it has done the whole filesystem and then dump it onto 2 tapes.
