Hi all
I am facing problems with the tapes. Everytime I
try to run amcheck,amverify or amdump it says its expecting a new tape. Here are
the results it puts out when I run amcheck

I have configured amanda to do 5 backups per week with tapes changing on
every friday ( so totally 6 tapes). I dont know why it says it needs a new tape.
I have tape which is to be placed on friday but it is not working. I would like
to some back ups immeidately because it causing problems for sometime now.
Regards
Yogish
I have also attached my amandaconfiguration file
and disklist file. I would appreciate if someone can help with
this.
