Right. So, on the second listing there, you'll see that the last entry in the tapelist file is "0 Diaria-006 reuse". This means it's the next tape to be used. The most recently used tape is the 1st line in the file. The second line is the tape you would have used yesterday and so forth. Amanda "expects" the next tape to be the last one in the tapelist file, then it moves that tape entry to the top of the file after amdump runs. So, if you don't want Diaria-006 (I think you said you only had 6 tapes previously, so you should have Diaria-000 through Diaria-005), then you need to run "amrmtape Diaria-006" to remove it from the tapelist file. After that, the next tape it will expect is Diaria-005. -- Chris Dahn, SERG Code Ninja 3141 Chestnut St. Attn: MCS Department Philadephia, PA 19104 Office: 215.895.0203 Fax: 215.895.1582 <->Software Engineering Research Group<-> Feel the SERG! http://serg.mcs.drexel.edu/ CAT 186, The Microwave http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?search=Christopher+Dahn&op=index
