I would like to use the same tape again. What do I need to do to > get this done (ie to use the same tape again)? 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.
