The problem is, that the tapes (hardware-)labeled with weekdays and i found no time to instruct my co-workers to re-label the tapes (i have no physical access to do it myself) since i moved over to amanda. Sometimes they forget to change the tapes and the next day amanda complains about the false tape. I think, i should hurry up that re-labeling thing a bit.. ;-) regards, Andreas
