Subject: Dump larger than tape error

Hi, all!

I've been running dumps to hard disk using chg-multi & stuff for about a
year now, very good, no complaints.

But recently, suddenly, one of the computers I back up is failing.
Here's what's in the e-mail:


_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+

These dumps were to tape DailySet109.
The next tape Amanda expects to use is: DailySet110.

FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY:
  <servername> /m1 lev 1 FAILED [dump larger than tape, -1 KB, skipping
incremental]
  <servername> /export/home lev 1 FAILED [dump larger than tape, -1 KB,

Now, the disks I'm using to do my backups is not full. Nowhere near
full; I've got 112Gb free on it. I doubt the filesystem on the target
system is THAT full... I will doublecheck though. Any immediate
thoughts?
