Did I understand you right: You backuped your clients and one DLE failed.
And now you want to rerun the complete set on the same tape? In this case
you can relabel your tape

amlabel -f {Set} FULLBACK-10

Amanda ll tread the tape as new. But make sure that your really want to
overwrite the tape. You ll lose the backup of that day.
