It is trying to do a level 0 right now, without any action on your part.
BUT it believes that a level 0 for that DLE is too big to fit on one tape,
12GB in your case.  If you are using software compression, with no previous
history to base compressibility on, amanda uses 50%.  That suggests your
new DLE is actually larger than 24GB.  Possible?

You know, system administration would be
