But your new config does not have a list of the tapes it can use. The file is named -- TaDa -- tapelist. Relabel your tapes using the "-f" option of amlabel to force it to override the check for an existing amanda label. Before doing this, you may have to create an empty "tapelist" file. jl -- Jon H.
