Hi I get this error when I run amcheck.

Amanda Tape Server Host Check
-----------------------------
Holding disk /dumps/amanda: 137245600 KB disk space available, that's
plenty
ERROR: cannot overwrite active tape DailySet101
       (expecting a new tape)
NOTE: skipping tape-writable test
Server check took 0.013 seconds
 
Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------
WARNING: server.domain.co.uk: selfcheck request timed out.  Host down?
Client check: 1 host checked in 30.002 seconds, 1 problem found

Have I got to create a file in /etc/xinit.d/amidxtape

As I haven't got this file or any other relating to amanda in xinit.d .

Cheers


Chuck
