For instance, I have tapedev="file:/backup/archive" and:
I have a strong suspicion that you are wrong, and the setup was correct. There is no requirement for data being a symlink. Note he is using a simple file driver, no changer involved. And even changer "chg-multi" does not use need data to be a symlink, only the chg-disk implementation uses symlinks. The setup is correct, but amanda 2.4.2 does not have a filedriver. There was already a strong hint about that problem: the commands ammt and amdd did not exist either. -- Paul Bijnens, xplanation Technology Services 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, * * init 0, kill -9 1, Alt-F4, Ctrl-Alt-Del, AltGr-NumLock, Stop-A, ... * * ...
