But the next time i run it i will say

*** A TAPE ERROR OCCURRED: [No writable valid tape found].
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: a new tape.

Is there any possibility to make it use the same tape over and over again for this backup.

amanda@backupserver:~$ more /etc/amanda/fullback/tapelist

Kind Regards,

Hi All,

Thanks for your help.
Attached is the amdump.1

Do you think its because it is not using the tape FULLBACK-01.
How can I make it to reuse fullback-01 again.

Do the following two command:
amrmtape fullbackfullback-01
amlabel -f fullback fullback-01

Your 'mailto' is set to 'root', did it receive the email report?
