I'm somewhat guessing here, but the error is that it ran out of tape. Do you have a filesystem that is bigger than a tape? I ask because while amanda can spread a backup run across several tapes, the individual DLE must be smaller than a tape. Breaking up DLE's into smaller pieces, none of which is more than 1/4 to 1/2 a tape is always a good idea. That gives the scheduler a chance to be more selective when re-ordering things to equalize the tape use per run. Also, the re-ordering may take more than one dumpcycle after adjusting things to see the full effects of the adjustment. -- Cheers, Gene AMD [EMAIL PROTECTED] 320M [EMAIL PROTECTED] 512M 99.27% setiathome rank, not too shabby for a WV hillbilly Yahoo.com attornies please note, additions to this message by Gene Heskett are: Copyright 2003 by Maurice Eugene Heskett, all rights reserved.
