Hi,
I am located in China and, as far as I can tell, the amanda web site
(http://www.amanda.org/) is not accessible from here.
I am trying to get amanda running on a rh9 host, primarily using
http://www.harkness.co.uk/services/backup.html as my guide.

The normal way is to run "amcheck" first, fix everything
it complains about, before proceeding with a real amdump.
The error messages of amcheck are

amdump doesn't generally (ever?) give output on stdout -- it
emails it.

You can generate the email by hand and safe it in a file instead:
cd ~amanda/DailySet1
amreport DailySet1 -l log.X.X -f save-mail-file
At least if you have file named log.dat

Ah, more interesting, but still difficult to figure out if anything has
gone wrong.
At least if you have file named log.datestamp.lvl

I am not really sure. Maybe this :

It seems that the very first time you ran the backup for '/etc' it
worked fine. See:

Thanks everyone for helping.
I got email working (albeit only locally since my isp is blocking my
[chinese] IP address), so now I can get the reports.
I bought some more tapes, and have used the amrmtape command to start
from scratch. Seems to be working like a charm. Next step is 'day 4' :)

Howdy folks. To keep it short:
1) Can someone point me to online docs that I have seen allusions to in the
archives but haven't found online yet?
2) amcheck reports the messages below. Is there a requirement to label tapes
prior to usage? The tapes in my changer are used:
