I'm also new to Amanda, but not so new to regular expressions. The
labelstr directive says that your tape label must be of a certain form.

In this case, it's expecting the string 'DailySet1' followed by a
number, followed by zero or more numbers. Therefore 'Daily-123' doesn't
match the label string.

You could change labelstr to be something like "^Daily-[0-9][0-9]*$"

Or change your tape label to something like 'DailySet1123'.

I'd go for the first option :-)

Hope that helps!
