Robert,

Do amanda report a tape error?
What it doesn't put on tape? dump from the current run or from previous run?

You give us nothing to look at it, can you post the amdump.? log file?.

I use hardware compression to max the size of the tape. Uncompressed the tape is 800GB compressed the theoretical max size is 1.6TB. I know that I will not get the 1.6TB.

In the amanda.conf file I tell amanda that my tape is "length 1500 gbytes" and that my tape drive uses LEOM.

Why does amanda stop at %52 when I still have 1.5TB of data in the holding disk to write to the tape? It is hard to believe that the LTO4 compression is so bad that I am not getting any compression at all.


Does  anyone else have a similar setup if so do my parameters look OK.

Thanks
