Backups should automatically spread across multiple tapes in case they don't fit onto one tape. That's why we are using a tape changer.

In 2.4.X a single dump may not be larger than your tape capacity.
In 2.5.0 (currently in beta) that limitation is removed.


From what I've been reading, I was afraid it won't work and decided to solve the problem once it occured.

Can I make entries in the disklist that do not represent mount points? I could, for example, make seperate entries for some users who are using a lot of disk space or even one for each user. But I would want to keep an entry for /home so that I won't forget to make an entry in the disklist for newly created users and have them in the backup nonetheless.
