Ok, now I will wave the white flag I am trying to get amanda working for the first time, but am running into same problem over and over. The particulars are: O/S is Slackware 8.0, amanda version is 2.4.3b3. Amcheck runs fine, but when I do an amdump, the following is what I end up with:
Subject: aug AMANDA MAIL REPORT FOR May 2, 2002 These dumps were to tape 00003117. The next tape Amanda expects to use is: a new tape.
