Hi all

Amanda 2.4.2p2

Did a forced level 0 dump (dumpcycle 0, runspercycle 1) as normal over the
weekend.

However many of the hosts failed due to "Dump too big for tape" which is a
complete lie..they've run for over 3 years with no errors on this config.
Tape size is 38500 mbytes and all the dumps are way less that this..

Any ideas where I should be looking for issues..

In the amdump.X logfile, you find the result of the estimates that Amanda uses for planning (and deciding that some are too big).
