Hi First thanks to everyone that helped me with my nightmare restore last week. I've managed to get the system disk up and running now so things are little calmer. Trying to understand the errors I recieved during the restore and Gavin mentioned that we shouldnt be using "day of the week" tape labels. Why is this? Are the results fatal if we do? (with the system disk restore, I eventually managed to get all the data off)
All of our Daily and Weekly tapes are labelled with the day of the week. Is there any easy way that we can revert back to the Amanda way of labelling the tapes? If it is possible and we can revert, would we still beable to restore off the "day of the week" tapes that we have up until now if we ever need to?
