until yesterday I thought I understand amanda roughly, but now I'm not sure 
anymore.
I thought that the planner tries to put as much as possible from all DLE to the 
tape.
I just installed a new tape drive with big tapes which should be big enough to 
hold
a full dump of all systems every day at the moment.

So, why does the planner schedule incremental dumps when he could do full dumps?

Amanda's goal is *not* to fill the tapes every night. Its goal is for the backups each night to be the same size.
