Hello. I've been using Amanda for a couple of months and it has all been working beautifully, but in the last few days I've been seeing some errors connected with gtar: Here is last night's report... These dumps were to tape DailySet1-33. The next tape Amanda expects to use is: a new tape. The next new tape already labelled is: DailySet1-34.
