Hi,
i think you expect amanda to put backups of multiple days on one tape,
do you?
if this is true you are completley wrong.
Amanda needs one tape for every day's backup, no matter how many data
you backup.
(at least if you don`t patch it to append to tapes,
there is a patch for doing that flowting around, but don't ask me
where.)
if you want to have a history of, lets say, 5 days, you have to use at
least 5 tapes for your backupcycle.
Hope it clarifys things a bit.
