So, if data cannot span volumes, what strategy are people using to avoid
running out of space? Are your AFTD devices very large? If so, how
large? Do you strictly control what data goes to each device? How do
you ensure that you do not run out of space on the devices?
Thanks.

Nope. That is the way the AFTD is designed. Unless you want to
terminate
existing backups, and restart them to use a second AFTD device with
more
room, the only other way is to remove savesets in the current AFTD
device.
You can do this in a number of ways, including deleting them or staging
them
to another volume.

Subject: [Networker] Backups to adv_file can't span volumes?
I have 4 1.5 TB adv_file devices. It's split up that way because Linux
2.4 isn't terribly happy about > 2TB physical volumes, and because it
affords some parallelism in cloning from adv_file to our 4 tape drives.
One volume filled up, and I was surprised to find a backup hanging on
"waiting to free adv_file space..."
Is there any way to convince NetWorker (7.2.1, Linux) to continue the
save onto an adv_file device in the same pool that has room, as it would
do with tapes?
