Josh,
I had the same problem the other day - turns out my initial
testing was from root rather than amanda user account and
I didn't have access (write access) to all of the files in the
amanda config directory.
Hello Josh,
Did you go through the tests in the chg-zd-mtx script? Those
not critical,
I have other ways of finding out what's on the tape.
thanks,
Brian

You seem to have a tapecapacity of 100 Gbyte, so amanda scheduled up
to 200 Gbyte (for 2 runtapes). To do this it needed to do some
level 1 instead of full dumps.
But actually your tapes *are* bigger, and amanda put all the 200 GByte
on one tape only in reality. But that was after the
SYSLOG - Amanda on INFO
I had the tape drive incorrectly configured in amanda.conf to have
a capacity of 100,000 Gbytes. This is the proper capacity with no
compression but incorrect for hardware compression where we will
estimate 200 000 GBytes (If amanda uses SW compression the 10
Gbytes
Sorry all, messed my units up.
The manual that arrived with our LTO drive gives the capacity
as 200 Gbytes with a 2:1 compression ratio. So we would expect
to put 100 Gbytes of data to the tape with HW compression
disabled and the 200 GBtytes is an 'optimistic' estimate with
HW compression

I can easilly shutdown - because I schedule the amanda job on the

Planner and driver both contribute, I believe:

If all goes well you will have at least one level 0 of each

(Assuming dump utility), Amanda will schedule a level 0 every (at most)
dump cycle if not more frequently. When the dump level is advances, to
say level 1, if the user file is modified it will appear on each level 1
until dump level becomes 2. If the file is again modified it will appear
