What does the mt status command tell you when you have a new tape in the
drive? Can you read/write to a new tape with something like tar?
I'm thinking maybe your tape is the wrong type and the error messages are a
symptom of that. Or perhaps your coworker put a cleaning tape in instead of

Hi list,
I'm having a problem with the amount of info that amanda sends to the tape
label that prints when a job is done.
I get 4 columns of data printed, when the tape format only allows 2
columns.
Is there a way to fix this, either by telling amanda (or amreport) to

Hi,
I'm running Debian Woody, and I'd like to set up the backup with amanda
(version 1:2.4.2p2-4). The machine will be used as a server with its
own tape backup (DAT DDS3).
I'm new to amanda. I installed it via aptget and tried to configure it.
amlabel works. When I run amcheck it tells me

Hi everybody,
I´m finding amanda very difficult to set up with
the documentation I found on amanda.org site.
Does someone knows an amanda how-to
somewhere?
I´d like to configure a redhat linux with 1 sony
dat tape unit. (therefore, without a tape changer).
Thank you,
Bruno Negrao.

You did read /usr/share/docs/amanda*/INSTALL ?

Hi all,
Is there a configuration for amanda where I can use just 1 tape?(always full
dumps, one overriding the previous)
I want to avoid keep changing between tapes since my root is far from the
tape server :-(
I set the following parameters to:
dumpcycle 0 days# the number of days in
