I have just decided to give AMANDA a try and am learning as I go. I have
gotten as far as trying a manual amdump, but it seems the estimate is
failing and nothing gets backed up. What could this be?


The email report follows, and the amdump log is attached.

These dumps were to tape DailySet1-A02.
The next tape Amanda expects to use is: a new tape.
The next new tape already labelled is: DailySet1-A01.
