Dear listers,

since today I used a rait vtapes/physical tape configuration without
problems for some months.

But today all my vtapes are empty, so i can't load a vtape. But they aren't
empty, because a lot of backups are already in there e.g.
/amandatapes/daily/vtape4/data. I googled the list archives but i didn't
found a solution.

How can I convince amanda to accept that all my vtapes still have some
(valuable!) content?

TIA!
Uwe
