Good question. I would like to know too. Also, I would like to know if I can put the second drive as "standby" as well as for recovering--- just in case an urgent recovering is demanded while regular backup is going on.

Hello List, I just got a second ADIC fastor4000 tape changer. This modle has 8 slots and 1 drive. I'm wondering what is the best way to use a second tape drive. I'm using amanda 2.4.2p2 as the server and the rpm's that came with RH7.2 for clients. I'd like to have amanda control how and when to use the drives. So that one could fail and backups would still be ok. Is this possible? or should I setup another config for the new changer? Thanks, chrisj
