Hi! I don't use real tapes. It's 680GB Raid-System and so these tapes are virtual. I created one tape and made a test-backup. It is the first time that I use Amanda and I don't know how to create another blank tape on my raid.
Hope this explanation is better? -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Im Auftrag von Jon LaBadie Gesendet: Freitag, 4.
