Hi,

Yesterday I forced a full backup with amadmin. Today, amcheck mailed to me the 
following:


These dumps were to tape FURV-POLICY01.
The next tape Amanda expects to use is: a new tape.
.
.
NOTES:
  planner: Forcing full dump of xaloc:/dev/sdc2 as directed.
  taper: tape FURV-POLICY01 kb 9993888 fm 5 [OK]

I don't understand "The next tape Amanda expects to use is: a new tape". The 
amcheck man page says about this:

"The tape is not OK and a new tape was expected."

what's that? ... Is the full backup invalid? do I need a new fresh and blank 
tape into my policy? or simply can I choose some registered tape from my 
policy? Must I do the full backup again?

Best regards,
