I have a backup strategy that happily performs a full backup for 160Gb

on a client machine, the backups work sequentially. The tape device is
an HP Surestore 2/20 autoloader, capable of 200Gb per tape.

Yes it is. You need to use a tape changer script.
See docs/TAPE.CHANGERS.
You can either use a real tape changer, or set up several drives and
use
the chg-multi script to fake a real changer.

Hi Roberto,
I don't believe so. Amanda uses either the vendor supplied dump program, or GNU tar to
do the backup. I know GNU tar does not do differential backup and AFAIK none of the
vendor supplied dump programs will do differential backup either (I'm pretty sure for

Good point :).
Another solution is RAIT. I back up to five Exabyte EXB10e units as a
RAIT.
I get 20GB max. image size using 5GB tapes, and multiple tapes per run

Yes, dump is actually dumping the holding area along with all
the other files on that partition. If you were using tar
instead of dump,
I'm using Linux and dump.

So you have a dumptype that says there is an exclude file there.
Alternative solutions:
- remove the directive that you have your exclude file
- add the directive optional to the exclude statement
so that
Hey guys, I switched from using a tar based program for dumptype to

Perchance have you got another older version of tar thats found first
