I only do HW compression. I tried the software compression once before and
it was excruciating slow. I have a newer tape server with many more cores
so maybe I should give SW compression another try.The big question is how
much better is the SW compression than the HW compression? What do I gain.

the tape is 800GB compressed the theoretical max size is 1.6TB. I
know that I will not get the 1.6TB.
In the amanda.conf file I tell amanda that my tape is "length 1

Robert,
Do amanda report a tape error?
What it doesn't put on tape? dump from the current run or from previous run?
You give us nothing to look at it, can you post the amdump.? log file?.

I have a VXA tape and a 2GB removable disk.
I was wondering if it was possible to have Amanda do full backups using
the VXA tapes and incrementals using the small disks with the new file
tapeio of 2.4.3b3. Would it be that I
just do two different runs - say a daily incremental cron for the disk
