Yes, i would like to split up my backups on multipe DVD-RAMs since a
backup can be up to 12GB big.

I have decided to go the " Virtual tapes with chg-disk" way.

Here is my config: http://pastebin.ca/190833

And here the Error:
----------------------
These dumps were to tape daily-03.
The next tape Amanda expects to use is: daily-01.
The next new tape already labelled is: daily-2.

How do i set up amanda so that it keep doing the dump parts until a
"tape" is full?

My disklist:
server md3 user-tar-span
server md1 user-tar-span


Thanks, Mario
