Here is my config file disklist and the latest Amanda Report
inparallel 4 # maximum dumpers that will run in parallel
netusage 1000 KB # maximum net bandwidth for Amanda, in KB per sec
dumpcycle 1 week # the number of days in the normal dump cycle
tapecycle 4 tapes # the number of tapes in rotation
bumpsize 20 MB # minimum savings (threshold) to bump level 1 -> 2
bumpdays 1 # minimum days at each level
bumpmult 4 # threshold = bumpsize * (level-1)**bumpmult
#tpchanger "chg-generic" # the tape-changer glue script
tapedev "/dev/nrsa0" # or use the (no-rewind!) tape device directly
tapetype DAT # what kind of tape it is (see tapetypes below)
labelstr "^VOL[0-9][0-9]*$" # label constraint regex: all tapes must match
diskdir "/usr/amanda" # where the holding disk is
disksize 10000 MB # how much space can we use on it
#diskdir "/dumps/amanda/work" # additionaly holding disks can be specified
#disksize 1200 MB # they are used round-robin
# Amanda needs a few MB of diskspace for the log and debug files,
# as well as a database. This stuff can grow large, so the conf directory
# isn't usually appropriate. We use /usr/adm. Create an amanda directory
# under there. You need a separate infofile and logfile for each
# configuration, so create subdirectories for each conf and put the files
# there. Specify the filenames below.
infofile "/var/log/amanda/cm02/curinfo" # database filename
logfile "/var/log/amanda/cm02/log" # log filename
indexdir "/var/log/amanda/cm02/index" # index directory
# tapetypes
#
# Define the type of tape you use here, and use it in "tapetype" above.
# Some typical types of tapes are included here. The tapetype tells amanda
# how many MB will fit on the tape, how big the filemarks are, and how
# fast the tape device is.
#
# For completeness Amanda should calculate the inter-record gaps too, but it
# doesn't. For EXABYTE and DAT tapes this is ok. Anyone using 9 tracks for
# amanda and need IRG calculations? Drop me a note if so.

# dumptypes
#
# These are referred to by the disklist file. The dumptype specifies
# certain "options" for dumping including:
# compress-fast - (default) compress on the client using fast algorithm
# compress-best - compress using the best (and slowww) algorithm
# no-compress - don't compress the dump output
# record - (default) record the dump in /etc/dumpdates
# no-record - don't record the dump, for testing
# no-hold - don't go to the holding disk, good for dumping
# the holding disk partition itself.
# skip-full - Skip the disk when a level 0 is due, to allow
# full backups outside Amanda, eg when the machine
# is in single-user mode.
# skip-incr - Skip the disk when the level 0 is NOT due. This
# is used in archive configurations, where only full
# dumps are done and the tapes saved.
# no-full - Do a level 1 every night. This can be used, for
# example, for small root filesystems that only change
# slightly relative to a site-wide prototype. Amanda
# then backs up just the changes.
#
# Also, the dumptype specifies the priority level, where "low", "medium" and
# "high" are the allowed levels. These are only really used when Amanda has
# no tape to write to because of some error. In that "degraded mode", as
# many incrementals as will fit on the holding disk are done, higher
priority
# first, to insure the important disks are dumped first.

Report
These dumps were to tape VOL004.
*** A TAPE ERROR OCCURRED: [[writing file: short write]].
Some dumps may have been left in the holding disk.
Run amflush to flush them to tape.
The next tape Amanda expects to use is: VOL005.
