You can increase runtapes, ...
maxdumpsize is not set in my amanda.conf
> ... or set maxdumpsize if you want to allow amanda to
do more backup than the tape space (useful with a lot of holdingdisk).
But e.g. last month, amanda (3.3.0) filled 5 tapes (runtapes was set to 5) and
put the rest into the holdingdisk, so I could flush it later:
>> These dumps were to tapes KAS076, KAS047, KAS051, KAS052, KAS050.
>> Not using all tapes because 5 tapes filled; runtapes=5 does not allow
>> additional tapes.
>> There are 186067M of dumps left in the holding disk.
>> Run amflush to flush them to tape.
Amanda dumped all with level 0 and what could not put to tape, was left in the
holdingdisk.
