Check the tapelist file in /etc/amanda/Daily, or wherever the directory is that you have it in. Amanda uses this file to determine what tape to use next. You may have inserted an extra tape into the tapelist by accident. If you did, you can use amrmtape to remove it from the tapelist. -- 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
