Hello List,

i would like to backup to DVD-RAM and therefore split my backups into
4GB pieces.

I have read the manuals, but i am not sure which split option to use.
There are so many.

I am running amanda 2.5.1p1.


Here is my config:

amanda.conf: http://pastebin.ca/188824

Disklist: 
server md3 comp-root
server md1 user-tar-span


And here my error:
-------------------------
*** A TAPE ERROR OCCURRED: [No writable valid tape found].
Some dumps may have been left in the holding disk.
Run amflush to flush them to tape.
The next tape Amanda expects to use is: a new tape.

FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY:
  server  md1  lev 0  FAILED [dump larger than available tape space,
60864470 KB, but cannot incremental dump new disk]
  server  md3  lev 0  FAILED [can't switch to incremental dump]
