Hello,
i have DLEs which are bigger than a single tape now. And i thought the solution 
would be to change the following in my amanda.conf

runtapes 2
holdingdisk hd1 {
     comment "first holding disk"
     directory "/mnt/amanda-holding"     # where the holding disk is
     chunksize 50Gb      # size of chunk if you want big dump to be
}
to enable amanda to span big DLEs over multiple tape, by leaving the untaped 
chunks on the holding disk for the next run.

no, the complete dle must be written to two 2 tapes in the same runs.

Even if i have only one LTO drive without a tape changer, by looking at the 
docs i need to set runtapes bigger than 1, is that correct?

So how do i configure amanda properly to span single DLEs over multiple tapes, 
with one LTO Drive and no tape changer?

You must configure the 'chg-manual' changer.

Also add the following device property:
  device-property "LEOM" "yes"
