Hi!
I don't use real tapes. It's 680GB Raid-System and so these tapes are
virtual. I created one tape and made a test-backup. It is the first time
that I use Amanda and I don't know how to create another blank tape on my
raid.
Hope this explanation is better?

Put a tape, blank or otherwise unused by amanda,
