Template:Troubleshooting CategoryTemplate:Troubleshooting Category Template:Troubleshooting Problem The following error from amdump:
cannot overwrite active tape
Template:Troubleshooting Solution Check if the correct tape is used. Amanda expects the tape given by
amadmin <conf> tape
Check that your tapecycle is set to at least one greater than dumpcycle (amcheck should show a WARNING if this is not the case), otherwise you might try to overwrite a tape that is still in the active dumpcycle. Amanda prevents you from doing that, by refusing to overwrite that tape.
