Hi all,...

Since people around here still are stuck wanting to have a
"friday-full/rest-of-the-week-incremental" backup strategy, I read
through

http://www.backupcentral.com/amanda-19.html

created two amanda configurations with the same disklist for full
and for incremental backup, labeled my tapes and tested the whole
mess. About the full backup, things work pretty fine. However,
trying to run the incremental setup always leaves me with an error
mail such as below:


> *** A TAPE ERROR OCCURRED: [label Back06 or new tape not found in
> rack]. Some dumps may have been left in the holding disk.

This is strange - tape Back06 actually _is_ inside the changer and
labeled correctly.

> 
> FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY:
>   larger than tape, -1 KB, skipping incremental] localhost 
>   work/04 lev 1 FAILED [dump larger than tape, -1 KB, skipping
>   incremental] localhost  project lev 1 FAILED [dump larger than
>   tape]

This is what always uses to show up in those situations - "dump
larger than tape" for all the dle's I used to set up. I doubt that
because the full dump itself fits on tape rather well.

Can anyone point me where to put my eyes to get this fixed?
amanda.conf of the incremental setup is included.

TIA, have a fine day everyone.
Kris
