tape, I get a Dump larger than available tape space-Error.
As far as I know, it is not possible to dump a disk that is larger
than the tape after compress. The split-tape only span multiple-tapes
on the boundary of each individual resulted dump file. It won't split
the resulted dump file
is filling tapes almost to 100% with this option, but if I want to
backup a mountpoint that is compressed larger then the space of an empty
tape, I get a Dump larger than available tape space-Error.
What I am doing wrong?
That should work, if the parameters you gave are on the right tapetype
Thank you to all who replied.
For the benefit of those who google this thread in 10 year's time (or
whatever the search engine of the day is by then), just so you're not
left dangling, here's the solution:
The problem was not really related to the change of version of Amanda.
It just so happens

earlier versions.
It should be vice versa, actually. The possibility of single DLE to span
multiple tapes is new in version 2.5, so
