I believe the paramaters you give are not the real parameters of the config that is running, or I must be very stupid.

So you have tapes that have 3900 Mbytes capacity...
What's wrong whith it?

Here's the amanda report: ---------------- These dumps were to tape Daily-06.
Amanda needed only one tape.
The next 3 tapes Amanda expects to used are: Daily-01, Daily-02, Daily-03.

How is it possible that Amanda cat put 8414 Mbyte (already compressed?) on one tape of 3900 Mbyte?

Again, amanda has put 8415 Mbyte on your tape that apparently holds only 3900 Mbyte???

Here is the reason: Amanda believes it cannot hold a full dump on one tape. That's a limitation of Amanda: one DLE (disk list entry) has to fit on one tape.
As an easy workaround, you can make DLE's of subdirectories instead, if the directory contains data that can be backed up separatly, for example
the oracle software as one DLE and the datafiles directory as another DLE (but for the datafiles, you better choose some other method, like making a "hot backup" with your tablespaces in backup mode to another directory and make an amanda backup thereof).
... taper: tape Daily-06 kb 8617056 fm 12 [OK]
And indeed, it's very strange that amanda can put 8617056 Kbytes on a tape that you say can only hold 3900*1024 Kbytes.
I suppose that the real config that your amanda runs has uses other values.

(brought to you by Amanda version 2.4.3) ----------------
But if I'm proved wrong, the whole backup community would be very interested in how you can put that much data on such small tapes...
You could make a fortune here, if you start you own company!
