I think I've run into another problem indirectly realted to my earlier
issues.

I've been trying in vein to get a Level 0 dump of the  machine onto tape.

I've told amanda to use SERVER compression, but unfortunatley, amanda
planner seem to take the estimates from the client without compression
when calculating what it can fit on tape.

So in reality, if I go over the uncompressed size of the tape as defined
in tape type, then this will never get to tape, even though it may fit on
after compression.

This is at the planner stage, so Amanda doesn't even dump the system to
disk to see what size it really is.

Anybody any idea how to get round this one ?

Cheers,
