Dear All,

We are trying to dump over 300GB to go across 2 tapes, as per:

http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/Splitting_dumps_across_tapes

But keep getting:

nas1:/storage/samba 0 planner: [dump larger than available tape space,
280606560 KB, but cannot incremental dump new disk]

Our dumptype is:

define dumptype user-tar-span {
   root-tar
   tape_splitsize 20 Gb
   comment "tape-spanning user partitions dumped with tar"
   priority medium
}

Any tips?

You probably still have "runtapes 1".  Increase it.
Or set "maxdumpsize" to an appropriate value.
