Hi

I am seeing these messages from AMANDA v2.5.0.

  planner: Last full dump of file.foo.com:/home on tape  overwritten in 1 run.
  planner: Incremental of mail.foo.com:/mnt/export bumped to level 2.

I am spanning tapes with a split size:
    tape_splitsize 3 Gb

tapetype DLT7000
define tapetype DLT7000 {
    comment "DEC/Quantum DLT7000 tape drive, hardware compression turned off"
    length 30000 mbytes
    filemark 8 kbytes
    speed 5 mbytes
}

I can see that the backup has continued onto another tape but is it a
problem that taper has reached the end of the tape?

Thanks
s.
