My offsite Amanda config, which was working nicely under 2.6.1, only
seems to write a single tape with 3.2.1 and I'm at a loss as to why.
I can't find any obvious errors in the debug files or in the
logs. Amanda clearly seems to think it is supposed to use 4 tapes for
each run:
$ su -m backup -c "amadmin offsite tape"
The next Amanda run should go onto tape offsite-019 or a new tape.
tape offsite-020 or a new tape.
tape offsite-021 or a new tape.
tape offsite-022 or a new tape.
But the amanda run writes to one tape and then stops and doesn't do
any others. When the dump is done and 1 tape has been written to I run
amflush, but each run of amflush writes one and only one tape also.
Here is my config, and the amdump and log files from a recent run
along with the taper debug file can be found at
