Backup Central

hi, our backup didn't run the day before because our server crashed on
that day. So last night when backup is running, it suppose to stored
data in dailyset2, but it stored data in dailyset1 since it din't get
run the day before and the file changer.stat say curslot 1 and
curloaded 1. So tonight, it will store data in dailyset2, instead of
dailyset3, I want to change the curslot to 2 and curloaded to 2, but the
file changer.stat say DO NOT EDIT. What can I do so that backup is
running in the right order, meaning running dailyset3 today, and
dailyset4 tommorow, and soforth?

Thanks

This is what happens when one tries to bend/kajole or otherwise
convince amanda to stick to a schedule. Its immediatly broken on the
first hardware hiccup. It can be fixed, by marking the tape you want
skipped as 'noreuse', but I'm not sure what amanda will do when you
put it back in circulation. Most of use look at that as amanda
showing us a better way since her scheduleer is pretty decent
overall, and ignore any thoughts of trying to mold her back into our
'routine' way of thinking about backups.

amtape config slot prev

But I don't think that's needed.
What does amcheck say? Will it really skip dailyset2?
If yes, then you probably have your tapecycle not correct.
