There is an amandad process which is still running after quite a long

I relabeled a tape during the last run using this command:

Not in my mind. They are 20GB tapes.
I.e. they can hold 20GB of ones and zero bits.

I am using chg-multi with two tape drives. Sometimes my backups only
require one tape, other times both. After the weekend, I use amtape
current to determine which tape drive is current and put the first of
the two tapes asked for by amcheck in it. It doesn't always seem,

I am testing a new version of amanda before putting it into play here at
work. The old version was 2.4.2p2. I can do the backups fine (I think),
but when I try to check them with amrecover, I get the following error:

I am setting up to transition an existing Amanda config on a Debian

trying to research this and have come up with what I believe is the
correct amanda config:
