No, I believe it denies you, telling you it's expecting a new tape. If you don't put it a new tape, it will not overwrite one that is already in the tapelist. Perhaps you could have a cronjob that runs just before your backup that renames the tapelist file? You don't want to remove it because that would make a mess of restores. If you just rename it and archive it (for the purpose of restoring), I think that should cause Amanda to allow any tape that's currently in the drive to be run when it sees an empty tapelist. -- Chris Dahn 3141 Chestnut St. Attn: CS Dept., CAT 186 Philadephia, PA 19104 Office (Philad): 215.895.0203 Office (Camden): 856.614.5430 Fax: 215.895.1582 <->Software Engineering Research Group<-> Feel the SERG! http://serg.cs.drexel.edu/ http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?search=Christopher+Dahn&op=index
