Hold on though .. you don't need to explicitly mount the NT data onto
the Linux box. You just let Amanda take care of it for you ... and as
Ben quite rightly says, it is reliable.
My first posting here BTW, so I would just like to take the chance to
say thanks for the great software. I had a pile of nasty shell scripts
that were getting more and more convoluted. Now I have a nice clean
config file and a setup that can survive for a day or two with no tapes
if I am away.
Lovely job
