Hello, i'm currently stuck. I cant do any backup, amcheck says it's not an amanda tape. I tried to label the tape but amlabel says that the label is already on the tape. So i did a amrmtape. Now i'm having trouble labelling the tape again. These tapes have been used before for amanda.. abt six mths ago, so now i'm doing a new installation, that's why the labels are still there.
