The fact that amanda cannot span a partition across tapes (yet). Thus, no single disklist entry can be bigger than your tapelength. > Or, what is the prefered method for doing a backup for my situation. Use GNUtar rather then dump (make sure you have at least version 1.13.19), and split the RAID into multiple disklist entries. -- Joshua Baker-LePain Department of Biomedical Engineering Duke University
