Hi I have run the amtapetype command and used the output and entered
into the amanda.conf as below.
# Produced after running amtapetype command.
define tapetype tape-DDS-4 {
comment "Produced by tapetype 20gb(hardware compression off)"
length 19510 mbytes
filemark 79 kbytes
speed 1740 kps
}
Note the other tapetype parameters are still there which I what I think
is still causing my dumps to fail as is still complaining about dump
larger than tape, 2862305 KB, but cannot incremental dump new disk.
Have I got to comment out the other tapetyps definitions
Here is my ~amdump.6 file output.
>From this blurb - tape length 1976320 mark "111" I note that was in my
previous HP

Thus have I got to reset anything as Amanda is still thinking of my
previous tapetype.
