Paul,

Every machine here runs Amanda 2.4.4p2. I'm sure the tapes that amadmin 
lists, are the correct ones: Dagtape-04 was made last thursday and on 
fridays I make a full dump, using another configuration. This monday and 
tuesday I went on with "Dagelijks".

I got exactly the same message yesterday as I got today. I had hoped the 
problem might solve itself if I could restore from a fresher incremental 
dump than yesterday, but no.
