Title: Blue Barracuda




Hi All,

I set amanda user to receive the mail.

And this is the mail report

Subject: Bluebarracuda - Daily Tape AMANDA MAIL REPORT FOR September
29, 2008

Hostname: backupserver
Org : Bluebarracuda - Daily Tape
Config  : fullback
Date    : September 29, 2008

These dumps were to tape FULLBACK-01.
The next tape Amanda expects to use is: a new tape.

But the next time i run it i will say 

*** A TAPE ERROR OCCURRED: [No writable valid tape found].
Some dumps may have been left in the holding disk.
Run amflush to flush them to tape.
The next tape Amanda expects to use is: a new tape.

Is there any possibility to make it use the same tape over and over
again for this backup.

  Hi All,


Thanks for your help.

Attached is the amdump.1



Do you think its because it is not using the tape FULLBACK-01.

How can I make it to reuse fullback-01 again.

  
Do the following two command:
  
 amrmtape fullbackfullback-01
  
 amlabel -f fullback fullback-01
  
  
Your 'mailto' is set to 'root', did it receive the email report?

What is the exit status of amdump?

Have you checked that all necessary directories exist and have the
proper permissions? curinfo, log directories, etc.
