I recently added a directory to be backed up and this is the message that I get..
I have a holding disk with 15GB space (reserving 30% for degraded mode dumps) and I am using a Surestore DAT 24 tape drive with DDS-3 tapes. I saw the work around in the FAQ, but google turned up this http://groups.yahoo.com/group/amanda-users/message/30947 which said that it may have something to do with the tape definition which is... define tapetype HP-DAT24 { comment "HP SureStore DAT 24" #disabled compression length 12288 mbytes filemark 0 kbytes speed 1024 kbytes } So, it would seem that even if the Level 1 dump is 5.8 gigs (according to the planner) I shuold be able to handle it. Does anyone know how to correct this? Thanks and best regards, Jason Pickering Here is the report...
