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.

How about using dd to read the header info off the tape? Vicki

Chuck, why not simply use amcheck -s conf? It checks if the inserted tape is the one to write to as well ... Stefan -- Stefan G.
