Hi,

my amanda configuration is very simple, but running
smooth.  as i continue to add more clients, i'm
starting to wonder what the best way to go about
things are... so far my 'runtapes' parameter is set to
1.  many systems should be able to fit on one tape
(i'm using hw compression on tapes that hold a little
over 100GB w/ no compression).  Anyway, the problem
now is that i need to back up a system  that is
120GB.... i can split that up no problem (i'm just
using tar anyway), but the question is would it be
better to just bump up the 'runtapes' parameter to 2
or 3 tapes, or should i come up w/ a whole new
configuration for this larger server (that sounds like
a pain to me).  thanks for the input,

Cameron Matheson
