Hello,
i'm testing amanda 2.5.2p1. i never used amanda before. my server
runs Red Hat Enterprize Linux 4. my testing client runs OS x
(10.4.10).
i am using vtapes, and i plan to keep on using them not just for the
test.
when i run "amdump daily", i get this email message:
Hostname: myserver.mydomain.com
Org : localhost
Config : daily
Date : August 16, 2007
These dumps were to tape daily5.
The next tape Amanda expects to use is: daily6.
