Did I understand you right: You backuped your clients and one DLE failed.
And now you want to rerun the complete set on the same tape? In this case
you can relabel your tape
amlabel -f {Set} FULLBACK-10
Amanda ll tread the tape as new. But make sure that your really want to
overwrite the tape. You ll lose the backup of that day.
I usually do: (actually I avoid it, but anyway, if really needed)
First inform amanda that this tape is no longer valid:
amrmtape theconfig FULLBACK-10
Now amanda will clear the indexes etc, but also adjust the bookkeeping
of what levels were successfully backed up. If you omit this, then
amanda will e.g. plan a level 2, based on the level 1 DLE that did not
had errors, but was stored on that tape.
Then label it again, using the "-f" flag:
amlabel -f theconfig FULLBACK-10
