Hi I don't have no tpchanger specified in my ~amanda.conf

I am only using one tape per run that does a full backup onto tape.
Thus is there a way to check my tapes I did orderly label them but need
to verify which tape is DailySet4.

Hi all

I have running amanda for a week but Fridays tape DailySet4 didn't get
backed up because The DailySet4 tape is in the drive but my amanda
doesn't think So.

What is the best way to check what amanda tape it is as I assume when
labelling I may of made a mistake.

Is there a amanda program that will check what tape I have in the drive.

*** A TAPE ERROR OCCURRED: [not an amanda tape].
Some dumps may have been left in the holding disk.
Run amflush to flush them to tape.
The next tape Amanda expects to use is: DailySet104.

Here is the message when I run amverify
Defects file is /tmp/amanda/amverify.20028/defects
amverify DailySet1

Using device /dev/nst0
Waiting for device to go ready...
Rewinding...
Processing label...
** No amanda tape in slot

So whats the best step to correct this.

Cheers

I would try amtape [config] show.
