But for the terminally curious, it's in the definition of your tapetype, plus setting "allow-split" in your disktype. define tapetype HARD-DISK { comment "Dump onto hard disk" length 15360 mbytes # specified in mbytes to get the exact size of 15 GB 2015-02-17 # Version 3.2.x splitting parameters. Set "allow-split yes" in the # disktype. part-cache-type disk part-cache-dir "/crc/back/amanda/part-cache" part-size 900 mb part-cache-max-size 900 mb } -- "When we talk of civilization, we are too apt to limit the meaning of the word to its mere embellishments, such as arts and sciences; but the true distinction between it and barbarism is, that the one presents a state of society under the protection of just and well-administered law, and the other is left to the chance government of brute force." - The Rev.
