What amanda does (or should do) is:
Dumper dumps mutliple file(systems) to holding disk
taper writes them one by one to tape,
and after a susccesful write, removes them from disk.
so say holdingdisk holds
A,B,C
taper tapes A to tape.
taper reports succesfull write of A
now A gets deleted from holding disk leaving
B,C
In my case, I am dumping to LTO tapes, which hold upto 150G
I don;t have a 150G holding disk
so if taper should only throw away *after* dumping everything to tape, I
would run out of holding disk space, whihc is seriously bad as it severly
degrades performance.
