I tried calling Overland, but apparently they have never tested Amanda against the ARCvault, but it clearly works with the Powerloader without trouble. I see no mention of the ARCvault anywhere on this group, so I figured I'd ask and see if anyone out there has had any experience with that particular loader. >
JB-L already gave a lot of good info. I'll just point out that for the changer/drive to work with amanda the drives need to be compatible with the mt program (almost a given) and the changer be compatible with the mtx program. Amanda does little more than use these programs for control functions and writes data to the drives. Overland may be able to confirm these more limited compatibilities. -- Jon H.
