Actually, they were defined as 4000 Mb, I've slightly increased it to 4100
Mb, just to give a little more headroom.
Check out the runtapes option in amanda.conf and:
That was set to 10, which was the largest number I could imagine it needing.

I'm running 2.5, so the first one is the one I've checked against.
Troubleshooting is incredibly slow because it's not a problem discovered by
amcheck, so i have to wait 24 hours every time to see whether I've improved
the situation. I'm getting worried, now, because in a few more days I will
be overwriting the only Level 0 for /home. If I haven't cracked this in a
couple more days I'll have to burn that dump to DVD to avoid losing it.
One quick workaround (until you solved the problem), is to set the
size of the vtape to anything large enough to hold the dump in one
file, and split that result file up with "split -c 4100m", and then
burn those parts to DVD.
Restoring is then done by "cat"-ing all those parts together again:
cat x?? | dd bs=32k skip=1 | gtar -xvpGf -
If you got the diskspace...
