Thanks for your insight into this.
As it stands, I'm only using 5 tapes and amanda hasn't gone into
production yet. So it really is a small matter if I lose what has
already been backed up to those tapes. In fact, if I amrmtape'd all of the
existing tapes and start over again, it wouldn't

Hi,
How can i tell amanda to split it up in 4500MB slices and write them one
by one to DVD-RAM?
Make them several DLEs. That means you must use GNU tar, not dump and
you must identify sub-hierarchies, from that too

That said, your tapelist shows 4350 MB, why making chuncks of 4500MB?
You may well be facing the same problem again...
I thought amanda can split such big backup archives up in serveral
parts. I doubt that someone will backup up a 200GB System onto

Dear All,
Currently trying to compile 2.5.0p2 with:

The rule is slightly different if the changer is a gravity stacker; in that
case, the first tape in I (without regard to P-membership) will be accepted.
And the last gravity stacker was seen in which decade? ;))

So you are saying i should loock for ~4GB directories tar them instead

Just to be on the safe side, and if you are considering to split your
backup anyway, it is better to split into pieces that are smaller than
the tape size.
I thought amanda can split such big backup archives
