Dear all,
I have followed the instruction and set the amanda.conf to
dumpcycle 7 days
runspercycle 1 days
tapecycle 7 tapes
labelstr "^DailySet1[0-9][0-9]*$"
I have seven tapes to have a cycle in one week. Is it correct to label
them as DailySet100, DailySet101, DailySet102,...?
Should I run the command
amlabel DailySet1 DailySet100
amlable DailySet1 DailySet101 ....
as root or as operator?
For the amrestore,
/usr/sbin/amrestore /dev/nst0 202.85.165.88 '/home$'
amrestore: missing file header block
amrestore: WARNING: not at start of tape, file numbers will be offset
amrestore: 0: reached end of tape: date $?諦

But, it shows the above error message. What can I do to correct it?
Thanks for your many help and Happy Christmas.
Yours,
Richard Ao
