Hi everyone,

First of all, I'm not a unix master at all, I'm trying to install and
configure amanda on my system, which is a system including 3 servers, with
only one having a tape device.

I don't understand how to label my tapes?

I don't understand either how to start amandad on the clients.

When I do #amcheck DailySet1 on my server, I got this:

bash-2.05$ /usr/sbin/amcheck DailySet1/
Amanda Tape Server Host Check
-----------------------------
Holding disk /var/tmp: 342562 KB disk space available, that's plenty
ERROR: /dev/st0: not an amanda tape
       (expecting a new tape)

NOTE: info dir /var/lib/amanda/DailySet1/curinfo: does not exist

Server check took 9.930 seconds

Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check

Thanks for your help.
