This seems like it'd be a common occurrence but I've looked all over.
I have a DLT-8000. 40/80 Gig tapes. I want to backup a 50 gig partition
and am going to use hardware compression. Amanda says the dump won't fit.
This configuration was working with server compression turned on and a
different tape drive.
Error:

My tape type:
define tapetype DLT8000-40 {

comment "Full backup"
# compress server fast

index yes
exclude "./dcbackup"
}
What do I need to do to have AMANDA try writing this all to tape? I
realize it can't know how well the hardware compression will do, but
trying to fit 50 gigs compressed on a 40 gig tape doesn't seem unreasonable.
I'm running Amanda-2.4.4p4. I've tried "comprate 0.50" with no success.
Thanks,
Chris
