So planner set all up to include 5.6 GByte from this host too. And that seems to be too much for 11976 Mbyte tape capacity. So planner degraded one of the backups, and planned an incremental one instead.

I'm not even addressing the timeout issue...that just will not resolve...

But before timing out, planner got already an estimate. Look in the amdump file. It took 5.6+ Gbyte in its estimate from www.iclear.com plus the 5.9 Gbyte from the others plus 150 Mbyte from /var. And that total amount is over your estimated tapecapacity. So planner decided to switch one filesystem to an incremental one before even starting the backups themselves. It does not know that www.iclear.com will time out. When the backup was started, www.iclear.com timed out, just as always, but planner had already given instructions to the driver. Driver does not come back on the schedule delivered by planner to notice that suddenly, because some other dump failed, it has enough room on the tape to do a full instead of an incremental.

Look (or post) the amdump file from that run, and notice the schedule
planner generated.
