Right - the "old syntax" still works, but let's try not to talk about it in front of n00bs :) In modifying the manpages, I tried to err on the side of the new syntax, while still documenting the old syntax. So amanda-changers(7) says: The preferred method of specifying configuration for a changer is as a "changer" section in amanda.conf(5). The tapedev parameter then indicates, by name, the changer that will be used by default by most Amanda programs. For example: I'll be happy to merge any suggested additions/modifications to the manpage. Dustin -- Open Source Storage Engineer http://www.zmanda.com
