Hi group,
I finally got SCO unix to perform a dump via amanda client. Thank you everyone for your help.
   Now that the first dump somewhat worked I have more questions.
Two of the file systems had errors dumping. I am attempting to backup 2x 45GB and 2x 9 GB file systems. I'm using a DLT tape changer. The errors came backs as:

*hostname* /u lev 0 FAILED [dumps too big, but cannot incremental dump new disk] *hostname* /u5 lev 0 FAILED [dumps too big, but cannot incremental dump new disk]

These are one one of each size file system (/u=9GB, /u5=45GB) so amanda did dump both a 9GB and a 45GB file system to the tape. I was hoping that amanda would load the another tape to finnish the dump but only one tape was used. The report emailed to me said that only 60% of the tape was used. Why didn't the one of the other two tapes get used? If you need my "tape type" configuration or any other info I'll send it.

thanks,
chris
