Upendra,
I don't recall how large your holding area is or if you end up
with multiple DLE in holding waiting for tape or not.
I've had good success with taperalgo and selecting the largestfit
option. This seems to fill my (non-spanning physical) tapes pretty
close to 100%.
If you have lots of

Ok guys, I got busier with other tasks so could not reply. sorry about that.
I did manage upgrading to Amanda 3.x version on solaris amanda server and
solaris amanda client.
I tried amcheck and it worked. So I tried amdump.
dispite the multiple DLEs the wall clock time is not shorter
than the dumptime, check use of inparallel and maxdump and
you should be able to get some concurrency, not that running
into the work day is an issue with this config, but its good
to practice and now about it later.

Hi!

I think you mean the split_diskbuffer parameter:
See example amanda.conf:

@ Jon,
It doesn't show me 3.1.1 version available in CSW which I am using here. See

Nothing strickes me as wrong with your new config but...
I'm sorry, I can't actually comment on spanning, never
configured it on any of my amanda servers.
Just for the sake of argument I'm going to include an

Hi,
Using Amanda on Solaris 10 2.5.2p1,REV=2008.05.21 and
amanda client on a solaris 8 which I beleive has same
version of Amanda.
OpenCSW shows amanda version 3.1.1. Why are you using
such an old version?

Upengan,
You have 50 gig under backup/amanda control, but how much data
are you currently backing up per week ?
With current settings, tapecycle and dumpcycle you will have
between 2 and 3 full dumps per partition on tape at any one
time, 2.x X 50 Gig 80 Gig so you are already short on (vtape)

While Amanda can be used for your needs, it may not be
an optimal choice. Amanda is a backup manager, she makes
choices about what and how to backup your DLEs. But you
are trying to do most or all of Amanda's
