mine contains lines like
./core
./*.tmp
./*~
etc the ./ at the start is required, without it won't work.

Hi
you definitly use the wrong wrapperscript for your changer.
chg-multi is designed to take multiple tape-drives to glue them together
to look like a virtual changer-device.
for example you have 5 identical tapedrives and want them to look like a
5-slot tape-changer. then you use chg-multi.

I would like to back these up to disk. I have followed the HOWTO and

Am I missing something really easy here
I have 35 tapes in rotation with a Dell Powervault 120T 7 tape autochanger.
Usually the backups only take about 2 or 3 tapes, I have runtapes set to 4 just in

Actually the reuse/no-reuse parameter doesn't tell you whether AMANDA will
accept the tape on the next run; it refers to whether AMANDA considers that
tape in the media pool available for that config. Unlike a program such as

Am I correct in understanding that by setting the dumpcycle

Amanda needs a new tape, i.e. one with date 0 in the list, or one
with a label that is not at all in the list.
You said you tried tried to feed it DailyDLT-01 to ...-07, but those
