RE: Dump not running

Does it behave better if you change your changer to 'chg-manual'? It looks kind of like it's trying to talk to a non-existent changer. If you provide more information about your hardware (drive type, changer type) and software (OS and AMANDA Version), that would help too. -Original Message---
