Well, I did just look what was left on the holding disk after the backup
process ended (using "du"). It was between 0.5 and 2 GB. Since the tape
can hold at least 15GB uncompressed at least "amflush" to a completely
new tape can't possibly fill it.

Another clue is that the amount of data available at the clients is not
really huge. Mostly configurations, websites and logfiles which are easy
to compress to low sizes.

I am not sure where in the report I could look this up to proof it. Of
course - I might be wrong...
