Now, just after reusing the very first tape, those errors occured so suddenly. Obviously it was good to ask, because the new backup has even more faliures of this kind! I checked the cronjobs, there are the two like advised (one to check tape, the other one to run amanda) for the backup-user, none for root or any other at the same time. Checking running processes is a nightshift job, I'd like to avoid :) Any more tips left? adTHANXvance Sascha
