Ok guys, I got busier with other tasks so could not reply. sorry about that.
I did manage upgrading to Amanda 3.x version on solaris amanda server and
solaris amanda client.
I tried amcheck and it worked. So I tried amdump. However it seems to me I
really need to adjust the numbers because I got below email when I ran the
dump. May be using multiple DLEs is my only option rather than one here.
Here is the Amanda email I got. I don't understand what it is trying to tell me
to do.
These dumps were to tapes TEST-1, TEST-2.
The next 6 tapes Amanda expects to use are: 6 new tapes.
The next 6 new tapes already labelled are: TEST-3, TEST-4, TEST-5, TEST-6,
TEST-7, TEST-8

I may not even be correct on fallback_splitsize and tape_splitsize and I may
not even have to use runtapes in amanda 3.1? Please advise.
Thank you !
