Hello list:

I wanted to find out if anyone out there would know the reason why would
amanda only back up half the data when the tape fits 3 times that amount.

200.0 Gig tape

 60.2 gig of data
 32.6 gig backed up

I would like to perform a full backup where all this data would get
written to tape.  Is it posible?

Thanks,
Ronald V. Vazquez


How much holding disk is available, and how does its non-reserved size compare to the largest disklist entry? And were you using a compressing dumptype?
