Re: amrecover file based backup and rewind

Hi Gregor,

You can set your tape drive to 'file:/data/Daily/backup/Daily03' in amrecover.

amrecover will not be able to use your changer if you use chg-multi, this
bug was fixed a few days after 2.4.4 was release. You can a try a snapshot
from http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~martinea/amanda

Hi

what version of amanda do u use?

Do u use it with the "pseudo changer device" chg-multi ?

amanda-2.4.4 can use the changer file with amrecover but it won't use
the device sent by the changer device.
Therefore it work for all changer except for the chg-multi changer 
program.

This problem is solved in recent snapshot ( after 20030228 version )

Jean helped me.
I set the amrecover_changer in amanda.conf to a string "changer"
and used 
settape changer
in amrecover
and now it works great!

regards,
Gregor
