Hi, A DLE using tape spanning from a client (amanda 2.5.1p3 Debian/Sarge) to server (2.5.2p1 SGI/Irix) just seems to dump **extremely** slowly: so far in ~8hrs not even one chunk of 9GB has made it to tape. All the other DLEs (non-spanning) on that client dump as fast as the network allows and all the other DLEs (local, with or without spanning) dump as fast as the tape drive can stream.
