Hi guys, Thank you all very much for the help. I finally figured out my problem. It was that I didn't remove the tape label properly. I didn't run amrmtape before I ran amlabel on the same tape.
Can somebody tell me how to compile and install amanda client using amanda-2.4.5.tar.gz? I need to deploy clients on the machines I need to back up.

Please help. The config seems correct. Are you really sure that in the report that the amanda user receives by mail, there is no error message? Also in the /tmp/amanda/ directory on client and server are some debug files. Can you send one of the "sendsize.DATETIMESTAMP.debug" files from the client? And if they don't exist, one of the amandad.*.debug files? -- Paul Bijnens, Xplanation Tel +32 16 397.511 Technologielaan 21 bus 2, B-3001 Leuven, BELGIUM Fax +32 16 397.512 http://www.xplanation.com/ email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *********************************************************************** * I think I've got the hang of it now: exit, ^D, ^C, ^\, ^Z, ^Q, F6, * * quit, ZZ, :q, :q!, M-Z, ^X^C, logoff, logout, close, bye, /bye, * * stop, end, F3, ~., ^]c, +++ ATH, disconnect, halt, abort, hangup, * * PF4, F20, ^X^X, :D::D, KJOB, F14-f-e, F8-e, kill -1 $$, shutdown, * * kill -9 1, Alt-F4, Ctrl-Alt-Del, AltGr-NumLock, Stop-A, ... * * ...
