HI there, I new to Zamanda backup and getting this error message while trying to lable the virtual tapes. Can someone help me on this ? Reading label... Found an empty tape. Writing label intra-14.. amlabel: Error writing label: Can't open file /backup/intra/slots/data//00000.intra-14: Permission denied. labeling tape in slot 15 (file:/backup/intra/slots): Reading label... Found Amanda tape intra1-15, but it is not from configuration intra.
Can you please check ownership of the directory /backup/intra/slots? It should be owned by amandabackup:disk and must be readable/write-able by amandabackup user. It appears intra1-15 was labelled by different backup set. Which version of Amanda are you using? Please post in forums.zmanda.com for prompt reply. Paddy
Ownership and Permissions for Slots directory: [root@backup01 intra]# ll total 4 drwxrwx--- 17 amanda disk 4096 Mar 5 12:08 slots Version of Amanda: amanda-backup_server-2.6.1p1-1.rhel5.i386.rpm Also somebody before me was using DailySet1 as their main directory. Probably that might be causing the conflict.....
