Don't think it is necessary. Your log shows: DELAYING DUMPS IF NEEDED, total_size 17273355, tape length 16974848 mark 15 delay: g1.green-mfg.com / 20051117 0 [dump larger than tape, 17273214 KB, full dump delayed] now at level 3 delay: Total size now 6615786. Note the estimated level 0 size is bigger than your tape. Thus amanda can not do a level 0. Its fall back is incrementals. You will have to reduce the size of that DLE, probably by splitting it into multiple DLEs. Or delete a gig of garbage :) -- Jon H.
