This is a showstopper Josh. Either you need to label more tapes for amanda's use or whatever as amanda thinks there is already a backup on that tape, and will refuse to overwrite it until "tapecycle" tapes have been used since the last time this tape was written to. Amanda will not normally append to an existing backup because of the uncertainties of where on the tape it is unless it has total control of the drive in one contiguous run. >NOTE: skipping tape-writable test >Server check took 4.827 seconds > >Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check >-------------------------------- >Client check: 2 hosts checked in 1.696 seconds, 0 problems found > >(brought to you by Amanda 2.4.3) >-------------------end check------------------- > >However, the actual run seems to have problems: > > >-------------------start run------------------- >These dumps were to tape DailySet101. >*** A TAPE ERROR OCCURRED: [[writing filemark: I/O error]]. >Some dumps may have been left in the holding disk. >Run amflush to flush them to tape. >The next tape Amanda expects to use is: a new tape. > >FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY: > cclcsup /home lev 0 FAILED [out of tape] > cclcsup /home lev 0 FAILED [dump to tape failed] > > >STATISTICS: > Total Full Daily > -------- -------- -------- >Estimate Time (hrs:min) 0:13 >Run Time (hrs:min) 0:45 >Dump Time (hrs:min) 0:00 0:00 0:00 >Output Size (meg) 1.3 0.0 1.3 >Original Size (meg) 1.3 0.0 1.3 >Avg Compressed Size (%) -- -- -- > (level:#disks ...)

However amanda needs to know that the tape is fubar so amanda can remove the indices and such associated with that tape, see the manpages please. Once that is done, then you can label a new one to replace it, but amanda will then use it when she asks for it, which may not be in the proper numerical order for humans to use. Amanda doesn't care as long as the tape she is supposed to use is available when she needs it. > > >Thanks, > >-Josh >[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > >[This E-mail scanned for viruses by Declude Virus] -- Cheers, Gene AMD K6-III@500mhz 320M Athlon1600XP@1400mhz 512M 99.21% setiathome rank, not too shabby for a WV hillbilly
