Hi all Sorted my problem used the notes from this gooogled website if anyone is interested as I had previlously used amrmtape and then amlabel.
Ref: Replacing a tape Sometime Amanda reports a tape to be faulty, the label could not be read on the tape, or the data could not be saved on the tape. It is time to replace the tape. https://wwws.cs.ait.ac.th/amanda/operator.shtml Thus got a Report stating the next tape will be Dailyset107.
