Hello,

A very strange thing just happened. I had a tape labeled ESSDUMP10 
but I did amcheck and I got:

su - backup "amcheck weekly -s weekly"
Amanda Tape Server Host Check
-----------------------------
Holding disk /BACKUP/holding: 72751 MB disk space available, using 72751 MB
slot 1: read label `ESSDUMP08', date `20060627'
slot 2: read label `ESSDUMP09', date `20060701'
slot 3: not an amanda tape
slot 4: read label `ESSDUMP11', date `20060708'
slot 5: read label `ESSDUMP12', date `20060710'
slot 6: read label `ESSDUMP13', date `20060520

On the last weekend the backup worked fine.

I think that all the data is there (I hope). Is there a way to recover the 
label and correct date?

The only thing I did was update from version 2.5.0 to 2.5.0p2 (i'm using the 
debian packages)

Also get:
amrestore /dev/nst0
amrestore: short file header block: 42 bytes
amrestore: WARNING: not at start of tape, file numbers will be offset
amrestore: error reading file header: Input/output error

Does anyone have an idea what could have trigered this?

Best regards,

Luis
