Hi Paul, Do I need to specify the DT-2400 like that, and in addition to the PT-25. I ask because the DT-2400 is a tape cartridge and I thought only the drive's specifications were needed. Do I understand that you do not have a separate tapelist? Thanks for the response.

I am using a There only two main configuration files (those two). For the syntax see "man amanda", sectino "TAPETYPE". In short: add the directives to amanda.conf: define tapetype PT-25 { length 1206 mbytes filemark 0 kbytes speed 179 kps } define tapetype DT-2400 { ... } You could also use the "includefile" directive of amanda.conf and make a separate tapelist file with the above contents. Then add the line: includefile "/the/path/to/your/tapelistfile" instead in the amanda.conf file. > PowerTape (PT-25) with the following specs: > > { > > length 1206 mbytes > > filemark 0 kbytes > > speed 179 kps > > } > > and a DT-2400 Cartridge. > -- Paul Bijnens, Xplanation Tel +32 16 397.511 Technologielaan 21 bus 2, B-3001 Leuven, BELGIUM Fax +32 16 397.512 http://www.xplanation.com/ email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *********************************************************************** * I think I've got the hang of it now: exit, ^D, ^C, ^\, ^Z, ^Q, F6, * * quit, ZZ, :q, :q!, M-Z, ^X^C, logoff, logout, close, bye, /bye, * * stop, end, F3, ~., ^]c, +++ ATH, disconnect, halt, abort, hangup, * * PF4, F20, ^X^X, :D::D, KJOB, F14-f-e, F8-e, kill -1 $$, shutdown, * * kill -9 1, Alt-F4, Ctrl-Alt-Del, AltGr-NumLock, Stop-A, ... * * ...
