You need to keep vtape as close to the size of your physical tapes as possable - as far as I know...and going from data to holding to vtapes to physical tapes will require two jobs.  One for data to holding to vtapes then one for vtapes to holding disk to archival media.

Subject: to disk to tape?

I have gotten so far as getting my first vtape written
and have lots of questions brewing.

The web docs suggest splitting up your vtape space
into vtapes of the same size.  Is this required; doe
Amanda intelligently handle vtapes of various sizes?

Be well,
