Following advice from Gene and the advice in the thread 'Strugging
with splits

run, but eventually the report came back that it had failed.

What have I missed?
program "GNUTAR"
in the dumptype.
You may also want to set up a split_diskbuffer in a location that can
hold at least one tape_splitsize buffer.
I've got a 10G holding area and 4G tapes. My largest (current)
filesystem is coming in at about 15G. My tape_splitsize is set to 400M.
When my largest filesystem is backed up (I'm using GNUTAR), I see
about 400M in use in the split_diskbuffer directory, then the tapes
start filling up.
So, setting split_diskbuffer may be the solution for you.
Hope this helps!
Bruce.
