Now you have the information necessary to ask smart questions[0]. I don't know of any current support for this in amanda but it should not be difficult to implement. If you're intersted then look at tape-src/tapeio.[ch] in the amanda source. Sounds to me like implementing that is overkill for your project though. Just install amanda on the machine with the tape drive; run two concurrent amandas on that machine if it's already running an amanda install until you get your testing done. If you're really worried about it, dig up an old QIC drive or something to test with. [0] - http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html -- Brandon D.
