Hi!

I'am a newbee in using amanda. I have configured one machine als server
and client to backup this one. I followed the instructions described on
www.amanda.org.
I'm using debian ubuntu (breezy badger) with linux kernel 2.6.12-9.
amcheck runs well.
-------------------------------------------------
backup@chef:~$ amcheck backup_woche
Amanda Tape Server Host Check
-----------------------------
Holding disk /var/backups/amandadump/backup_woche: 23574028 kB disk
space availa ble, that's plenty
NOTE: skipping tape-writable test
Tape Wochenbackup001 label ok
NOTE: info dir /var/lib/amanda/backup_woche/curinfo/chef: does not exist
NOTE: it will be created on the next run.
Server check took 35.892 seconds

Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------
Client check: 1 host checked in 0.133 seconds, 0 problems found

(brought to you by Amanda 2.4.5)
--------------------------------------------------

But amdump backup_woche fails. This is the message from amanda:

-------------------------------------------------------------------
*** THE DUMPS DID NOT FINISH PROPERLY!

The next tape Amanda expects to use is: a new tape.
The next new tape already labelled is: Wochenbackup001.
