Issue of the topic: Amanda is broken, after wiping the tape disk
Unfortunately I’ve wiped the amanda tape disk. After this misfortune, I’ve just recreated the target directory for amanda, but I’ve got still error message by amanda dump.
So I tried to uninstall amanda (apt-get purge + removing directories). Then I installed amanda again and configured it by openhabian-config.
Unfortunately I’m still getting error messages:
The next 10 tapes Amanda expects to use are: 10 new tapes.

How can I repair my amanda installation? Or would it better to uninstall and install new?
Below is the default contents of /etc/amanda-security.conf, edit to match.

Thank you for the fast answere. I’ve just replaced my /etc/amanda-security.conf with your excample. Before mine has only twice the line
amgtar:gnutar_path=/usr/bin/tar
Unfortunately I’m getting now other error messages:
The next 10 tapes Amanda expects to use are: 10 new tapes.

This is not a known recipe one just needs to apply so do not expect anyone to guide you through this. You need to interpret the errors yourself.
Resetting permissions might help but frankly as we do not know what else you broke with your activities so starting all over from scratch is the safer and probably faster solution.
