Strange amdump

2001-04-08 Thread C Scott
Can anyone think of any reason why I can only get one backup on a tape. The tape is only 38% used, but the amdump report (email) says that next tape expected is a new tape. If amdump is run again, it reports that amflush must be used because it can't overwrite the active tape. There is p
