You may want to use something faster than RAID-5 for your tapes -- that may be part of the bottleneck. At the moment, Amanda only writes to one tape (virtual or otherwise) at a time. You said in your last email: > Amanda has all data waiting to be backed up in /hold. So why are DLEs "waiting for dumping"? Is your holding disk full?
