Hi again

I was getting the following this error - server / lev 0 FAILED [dump to
tape failed] I assume tar is not working.

I am using this version of tar.

server:/etc/postfix # /bin/tar --version
tar (GNU tar) 1.13.25 

cd /var/lib/amanda/DailySet1
ls -lt > less amdump 

(output)

driver: result time 1615.665 from dumper0: FAILED 01-00002 [/bin/tar
returned 2]


Amanda Report below:

These dumps were to tape DailySet110.
The next tape Amanda expects to use is: a new tape.
The next new tape already labelled is: DailySet101.
