My vtapes are spread across several disks. One of the smallest recently died in a most audible way.
I'm replacing the disk with a larger one. I would like to recreate the lost vtapes (no backup data, that is gone!) and have them reused in the order they would have been used. Also, I would like to add vtapes and have them used after the currently highest numbered vtape. I.e. I am succumbing to that human fraility of wanting things to run in numerical order when it really doesn't matter. So, if I create new tapes and manually move their tapelist entry to the position I want, will amanda still use the "new" tape over the one at the bottom of the list? For those already existing vtapes lost in the crash, can I create the directory and hand craft the tape header. Then just leave those tapelist entries alone. Considering the unlikely possibility that I will attempt recovery of something from the lost vtapes should I just "amrmtape" the lost vtapes and recreate them from scratch? Jon -- Jon H.
