Somethings definitely wrong here, but from this I've no idea what. It should not take a tape drive over 5 minutes to locate and load the next correct tape. My server check is usually a very small fraction of a second, but I'm also using virtual tapes on a 200Gb drive. >Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check >-------------------------------- >Client check: 1 host checked in 0.025 seconds, 0 problems found > >(brought to you by Amanda 2.4.4p3) >[EMAIL PROTECTED] [28]> > The client check time is more realistic.
