The labelstr setting changed in 3.4
$ man amanda.conf
labelstr string | MATCH-AUTOLABEL
Default: MATCH-AUTOLABEL. The tape label constraint regular
expression. All tape labels generated (see amlabel(8)) and
used by
this configuration must match the regular expression. All
autolabel
variable can be used. The keywork MATCH-AUTOLABEL use the
autolabel
template as expression.
If multiple configurations are run from the same tape server
host,
it is helpful to set their labels to different strings (for
example, "DAILY[0-9][0-9]*" vs. "ARCHIVE[0-9][0-9]*") to avoid
overwriting each other's tapes.
If the match_autolabel key is set and TRUE, then the autolabel string is
used for the template.
if the match_autolabel key is not set or is FALSE, then the labelstr
template is used.
