I was doing some amanda testing and labeled a tape. Afterwards I backed up to the tape using tar not amanda. I used the following syntax tar -c -b 4096 -f /dev/nst0 /mnt/mail/logancty. I am unable to even list the files on the tape using tar -t /dev/nst0. We have found that we are able to list files if the tapes have not been labeled by Amanda. Amanda is not loaded on the server.
