Many (most?) tapedrives make no real distinction between a real "End Of Tape" and "Write Error". You'll have to find out which event happened. Did it write to the tape for about 3-5 hours (200 Gbyte), or did it just write the label, and maybe even stopped on the first file? More down in the amanda report, in the "Notes" section, you find the amount of data that Amanda did write successfully to the tape. Is it reasonable close to 200 Gbyte? -- Paul Bijnens, xplanation Technology Services Tel +32 16 397.511 Technologielaan 21 bus 2, B-3001 Leuven, BELGIUM Fax +32 16 397.512 http://www.xplanation.com/ email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *********************************************************************** * I think I've got the hang of it now: exit, ^D, ^C, ^\, ^Z, ^Q, ^^, * * F6, quit, ZZ, :q, :q!, M-Z, ^X^C, logoff, logout, close, bye, /bye, * * stop, end, F3, ~., ^]c, +++ ATH, disconnect, halt, abort, hangup, * * PF4, F20, ^X^X, :D::D, KJOB, F14-f-e, F8-e, kill -1 $$, shutdown, * * init 0, kill -9 1, Alt-F4, Ctrl-Alt-Del, AltGr-NumLock, Stop-A, ... * * ...
