Hi I don't have no tpchanger specified in my ~amanda.conf As below # Specify tape device and/or tape changer. If you don't have a tape # changer, and you don't want to use more than one tape per run of # amdump, just comment out the definition of tpchanger.
I am only using one tape per run that does a full backup onto tape. Thus is there a way to check my tapes I did orderly label them but need to verify which tape is DailySet4.
