Hello!

My Amanda server is running 2.4.3b4. Three days ago I upgraded the 
operating system from FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE-p6 to 4.7-RELEASE-p9. This is 
really just some security patches to sendmail, libc and openssl. Since 
the upgrade Amanda thinks that all the backup tapes that were written 
before the upgrade are "not Amanda tapes". 

After I re-label the tape, Amanda agrees to write the backup to it and 
also I can successfully amrestore it later. But it seems that, should 
the need arise to restore from a pre-upgrade tape, I would be in 
trouble because those tapes are 'not Amanda tapes'. I suppose I could 
still read the dump images with dd, though?

Over the last couple of years I've done many OS upgrades on this Amanda 
server and this is the first time I see such problem. Has anyone else 
seen it?
