500 megs???? How many of these virtual tapes do you allow it to use per
run? That is "runtapes" in the amanda.conf.
I am a home usr, using a commodity 1 terrabyte drive for the vtapes, and my
tapetype is set for about 30Gb. I am backing up this machine, and pieces
of the one out in the shop that runs my cnc milling machine, on a 5 day
cycle, so each days runs vary from 12Gb to 25Gb. 500 megs I outgrew by
1998. ;-)
