Hello amanda-gurus, I backup big files from a client over ethernet (100 MBit) to amanda server. the client is very weak (~ 200 MhZ) and it is no good idea to compress the files because the client could crash I think. The files get stored on a holding disk on the amanda server.
I use DDS3-tapes and there is not enough free space to store the files on the tape. the following error occurs (amreport): FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY: localhost /backup lev 6 FAILED [dump larger than tape, skipping incremental] planner: FATAL cannot fit anything on tape, bailing out is there any possibility to compress the files AFTER they got transmitted to the server? Thank you very much!
