The second one was the one that actually had the files attached. I didn't get it either, so I may have typoed and it's still trying to bounce back to me. The AIT Definition that I used is: define tapetype SONY-AIT { comment "SONY-AIT - produced by tapetype" length 21783 mbytes

Paul, I understand that this is not the way that Amanda works normally, but I have an offsite storage requirement that I have to fulfill. Since Amanda normally scatters the Full dumps across the week there would not be any one set of tapes that I could take away. If I had to do this by hand each

Configuring an Exabute 10h

I've searched the amanda-users archives and the web for information on setting up Amanda to work with an Exabyte 10h changer and have not been able to find the information I need. The solutions previously on the list range from "I got it to work" (with no discussion of how) to "I hacked this prog

Jeremy, I just re-posted the "hack" you mention below for Steve Vitale, and I don't think it's that bad, certainly no worse than the worst of the rest of the changer hacks. :) Before you start on the changer, is AMANDA working correctly with the tape drive and no changer (i.e., chg-manual, the

I have a 35Gb holding disk on the machine running Amanda right now, which with compression should hold about 1/2 of what we are attempting to backup, especially if I can get it down to just incrementals during the week. I have had several suggestions about doing a separate run for archives and let
