Can anyone supply their experiences in changing the name
of an amanda configuration?
Months back I aquired an old PC and set it up as standalone
amanda server. I first set it up using my DDS changer I
had used on the old server (config tstdds). Then I got

As no one has responded, I guess no one else has a clue either. :((
Of course, not having a clue seldom stops me from posting ;)
