I'm having problems with amflush and the tapelist.
My backups didn't work last night, so I swapped the tape and
ran amflush. Amflush hung, so I tried to stop it and run it again, without
changing the tape. In order to do that, I ran amrmtape on the tape, and

The ultimate goal of all of this backing up, for us, is in case
there's some sort of catastrophic failure. Like, the server room burns down.
But if that happened, the machine that's making the tapes would be lost as

I've got Amanda running in the normal manner, with a 10 day

I had the same problem. I tried debugging it, but couldn't figure out
why it was failing, because the code returned was for success. So, I turned
the die() into a warn(), which, since it wasn't actually failing, never fired
off.
