Whats the best to tackle this still using DSS-4 150mm DAT tapes.
and how to cannot incremental dump new disk as above error.

I think you have a wrong value for tapecapacity in amanda.conf file.
(or maybe still using some testvalues from the filedriver vtapes?)

2866960 KB is less than 3 Gbyte, and that even fits on a DDS-2 120mm tape.
Or did I screw up the units again, ;-)  Geert ?
