I have a 15 slot Exabyte 215M tape library with 
225m AME with SmartClean cartridges. I have tried to
run backups on more than 3 tapes, and got the same
error. These tapes are approx. four months old. 

I went ahead and ordered a cleaning cartridge. Exabyte
claimed that I wouldn't need a cleaning tape since the
media comes with smart clean automatically. Now they
backed out of their claim after creating an incident
report. Go figure.

Its an amanda version 2.4.2p2 - modified to show data
in MB and minus other stats.

amanda fails to backup regular files.

2004-06-11 Thread Sal Sharief

directory structure. Anyone ran into this kind of problem?
