Hello,
I'm administering an amanda setup that uses cron to schedule the
backups. Everything was working fine until someone else forgot to change
the tape and amanda kicked up a fuss because the label was incorrect. (I
was out of the office for a week). The backup was sent to a holding
disk, but
Sorry about being so generic: fails means I don't get any output in my
mailbox (where I usually get the amanda reports).
I've done a bit more sifting through the logs and come up with the
following in /var/log/messages:

Hi
We're currently using Amanda 2.4.1p1 on Solaris 2.5.1 with a Compaq
TL891 DLT library. But we were unable to get the changer working with
mtx (current version) and sst, so we have to change tapes manually.

Is anyone using successfully the same Library
