Hi,
What you describe is what I see when I do not use chunks. The last
backup to the last vtape will be transfered again to vtape on next
amdump or amflush.
Kind regards

Yes, that is the historically desired behavior when DLE dumps could
not be split across physical or virtual tapes. The last DLE dumped
when the tape "ran out" must be retaped in its entirety. But with
chunks, no more than the last chunk should need to be retaped.
Amanda has record of which chunks were successfully taped.

I have one large DLE that gets broken into about
45 chunks for taping. My vtapes hold 20 of these
chunks and I allow up to 3 tapes to be used nightly.
Two evening back another large DLE was in the same
dump so only about 30 of the 45 chunks fit on the
three tapes.
Today I ran amflush thinking amanda would just tape
the 15 untaped chunks onto 1 vtape. But no, it is doing
the entire 45 which will take 3 vtapes.
In a vtape environment, is this reasonable behavior?
Was there a way to flush only the untaped chunks?
