Hello I added the /usr/local/sbin to the Path variable of user amanda. I can successfully execute the amanda commands. I ran amdump without running amlabel. I want to label the tape now- Running the command gives the following error [amanda@backup admin]$ amlabel -f DailySet1 DailySet10 rewinding amlabel: tape_rewind: tape open: /dev/nst0: Permission denied
If I try to remove the tape from the tape database using the amrmtape command - i do not know the label that should be given . amrmtape -v DailySet1 <label> How can I start from scratch using the same tape???
