I don't seem to recall what size your tapes were Brian. If they are
DDS2's, 4Gb native, then that DLE is still too large, and it will
have to be broken down into the next level of subdirs, each a
seperate DLE. I'm in that situation here, and I've found that amanda
seems to handle the balanceing act with much more agility when she
has numerous small (nearly 50 in fact) DLE's as opposed to maybe only
7 or 8 big ones.
However, in your situation as I can see from your sig, I'd sure be on
a campaign to acquire a larger, with robotics, drive or library if
I'm guessing correctly that you are stuck with a DDS2 drive now. I'm
just a home user, so nobody dies, or gets a benefit denied if I lose
my system, but I'm not sure I'd want to trust your data to a travan
(multiple yucky's) or DDS (somewhat better) tape. Its true, you
really do get what you pay for...
