Hello,
As long as the OS detects the devices amanda will be able to use them.
An easy way to see whether the devices were detected by the system is to
look at the /proc/scsi/scsi file after the devices are connected and the
system is rebooted.

Hi All,
I am trying to figure out a proper backup strategy for our setup,
using Amanda as the backup tool. We have roughly 20 Linux/Windows
dual-boot machines and one file server with "Red Hat Enterprise Linux
ES release 3" as the OS. To keep the backup procedure simple, we plan
to keep all the "critical" data on this file server and only back up
the data directories on this file server (No other machine would be
backed up). The data to be backed up is currently roughly 100GB and
may increase to more than 250GB in the next one year. I am trying to
identify the proper backup devices/media for this requirement. The
backup devices I am evaluating are
1. HP Ultrium 448 Tape Drive
2. HP DLT VS160 Tape Drive
3. HP SDLT 320
4. HP SDLT 600
I would like to know whether these backup devices are fully compatible
with Amanda. Does anybody on this list use these backup devices in
his/her setup ? Suggestions for any other suitable backup device are
also welcome.
Thanks In Advance
Yogesh
