I remember that the documentation contained a warning about that. Holding disk should be an entirely own Space. Tape disk either. > How would I start over, throw away all the backups made > so far, and begin with fresh/empty tapes? I would try to get another disk, maybe USB or network storage as a second holding disk, move all files from the current holding disk there, change the configuration File appropriately and try amflush. If you are using LVM on that box, you might have luck to be able to reconfigure the filesystems to have two separate storage areas. Please double check, if there are files from other processes on that disk, 11 TB are somewhat more space than 30 Tapes with 5GB each will consume. Regards, Ingo
