Forums Discussions

Jon LaBadie tried running amtapetype on a vtape, and the results spawned an interesting discussion on what amtapetype should do in such a situation.
Robert P. McGraw, Chris Hoogendyk, and Brian Cuttler discussed the relative merits of hardware and software compression, noting that Amanda has a difficult time calculating the number of dumps it can fit on a tape when hardware compression is enabled.
Marc Muehlfeld wondered how Amanda can fill a tape to more than 100% capacity. Cyrille Bollu and Paul Bijnens answered, pointing out that tapes differ in actual capacity, and that Amanda only uses the tapelength for planning purposes, but will happily consume any extra space it finds.
