Hi all;

being merrily running amanda for about three years now, right now our
tapes are slowly getting filled. This weekends full dump obviously seems
to have completed without errors, but, running amverify ended up with
the following:

Hmmm, there's currently only one tape inside the changer (the one of
last weekend), and, according to the amdump log files, last weekends
dump filled up about 84% of the tape.

So: What does "End-of-Information" mean in this context? Is the tape
(for whichever reason) filled and amverify expecting more information on
another one? Did amverify actually finish checking all disks and see the
end of the dump? I'm confused here, and the amverify documentation
unfortunately wasn't that helpful... For what I saw,

...
Checked backer.planconnect.net.planc1.20060610.0.

makes be believe the check of this part of the backup was successful, am
I right on that? Can someone enlighten me (or point me where to read)?

Thanks in advance and bye
Kris
