VS640 sounds like 8 tapes of VS80 type, about 40GB uncompressed.

dds4 sounds like a DAT 4, about 20GB uncompressed

In any event, I don't think the actual capacity, uncompressed, is 80GB.

It wrote 1 file (fm 1) and about 448KB "successfully". That file was the
amanda tape header, not a backup dump. Then it hit an error.

Amanda gets an "error" from the system that often means one of
several possibilities. Amanda then lists a likely reason.
