Hi In fact I have used both procedures but I had notes from a particular
url that had a list of the usual error and solutions.

My Amanda also reports that I need to use DailySet101 next Thus it's
back to normal.
As it did only cycle through DailySet108 -  DailySet110.

Thanks for the advice.

Cheers
