Hello guys,

I am trying to do a full backup of 03 filesystems (127 GB), and my tape is an 
AIT 50/130 GB tape driver.

My amcheck is OK, no problems found ...

Amdump simply don't work and report me this :

> These dumps were to tape fita03.
> *** A TAPE ERROR OCCURRED: [[writing file: No space left on device]].
> 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: a new tape.

At my configuration file I use this options :

define dumptype comp-high {
>     global
>     comment "very important partitions on fast machines"
>     compress client best
>     priority high
> }
>
> Compress: I supose that option I used the best, but the slowest one, right ? 
> What the comprresion that is used at this option ? bzip2 ?

At my disklist I use :
> my_host.my_domain /dir1 comp-high
> my_host.my_domain /dir2 comp-high
> my_host.my_domain /dir3 comp-high
> my_host.my_domain /dir4 comp-high

Someone could help me ???

Am I providing enough information ?
