I have been useing amanda for a few weeks now and am pleased with the
results. Though I have had some problems with the labels on the amanda
tapes. I have a VXA tape drive and V17 tapes and the labels are
getting erased at random times???

Is this a faulty tape issue or one of my settings?

This is the tapetype:

define tapetype VXA {
        comment "Ecrix VXA-1 V17"
        speed 2540 kbytes
        length 30609 mbytes
        filemark 2141 kbytes
}

Any light on this problem would be great because redoing the labels on
tapes is a waste of my time.

Thanks
