Backup Central

Hello < at > all,

after updating to 3.2.2 amanda uses more tapes (LTO4) as expected:

USAGE BY TAPE:
Label Time Size % DLEs Parts
D00003 2:32 797382M 100.4 137 279
D00001 0:30 190514M 24.0 0 38


Here is my config:

flush-threshold-dumped 0
flush-threshold-scheduled 100
taperflush 100
autoflush yes

So it should wait until the next dump and fill the tapes completely, shouldnt it?

Regards,
Dennis

Amanda do not append to tape, it will never fill a tape written by
another run.

If the question is, Why it use two tapes in that run?
It could be:
because flush-threshold-dumped is set to 0. FLUSH it to tape as soon
as it is dumped.
because it is doing a dump direct to tape.
because the holding is not large enough.
