Now an additional obstacle:

one DLE (a Veeam Backup Dir, so I don't want to split it via "exclude"
or so) is larger than (a) one tape and (b) the holding disk.

DLE = 2.9 TB
holding disk = 2 TB
one tape = 2.4 TB (LTO6)

It seems that the tape device doesn't support LEOM ...

Amdump dumps the DLE directly to tape, fills it and fails with

" lev 0  partial taper: No space left on device, splitting not enabled
"

I am unsure how to set LEOM within:

define device lto6_drive {
    tapedev "tape:/dev/nst0"
    #device-property "BLOCK_SIZE" "2048K"
    device-property "LEOM" "false"
}

define changer robot {
        tpchanger "chg-robot:/dev/sg4"
        #property "tape-device" "0=tape:/dev/nst0"
        property "tape-device" "0=lto6_drive"
        property "eject-before-unload" "yes"
        property "use-slots" "1-8"
}


... makes amcheck happy.

additional for your checking eyes:

define tapetype LTO6 {
    comment "Created by amtapetype; compression enabled"
    length 2443520000 kbytes
    filemark 868 kbytes
    speed 157758 kps
    blocksize 2048 kbytes

        part_size 100G
        part_cache_type memory
        part_cache_max_size 8G # use roughly the amount of free RAM on your 
system
}


We have 32 GB RAM in there so this should work?
