	You may happen to run into the problem of having to back up more data than will fit onto a single tape, like when you have partitions that are much larger as a tape. Over time, the partition will hold more and more data, and when you started with a simple amanda configuration that backs up the partition as a whole, backups will fail sooner or later.		#redirect [[How To:Split DLEs With Exclude Lists]]
