Re: your amanda.conf I am not a chg-multi user, so I don't know if the tapedev spec for use with it is in the same 'style' as chg-scsi which I use. But for chg-scsi, the tapedev turns into the configuration number to reference in the chg-scsi.conf, which in my case with only one drive and robot, and its a base 0 numbering system, that makes my tapedev = 0. But since you are using chg-multi, I might just be making idle conversation. I also don't have the word tapes within the tapecycle specification, just the number of tapes, but I didn't see any errors in the logs about that so its probably ok. -- Cheers, Gene AMD K6-III@500mhz 320M Athlon1600XP@1400mhz 512M 99.22% setiathome rank, not too shabby for a WV hillbilly

Don't do it by running amdumps', use things like ammt, amtape, and amcheck and get them working first. -- Jon H.
