Jeremy, If I can make the process more efficient, then that's what I want to do. In the event of a catastrophe, time is money. I have tracked down what I believe to be a bug; that is, if no blocksize is defined for amrestore, it defaults to 32K, even though the man page says Amrestore

amrestore and tape changers: has it changed since 2.4.4p3?

2007-09-13 Thread Francis Galiegue
Hello, Just a question: in the amrestore page from amanda 2.4.4p3 (well, packaged by Red Hat for RHEL 4.x), it says that amrestore does NOT use a tape changer. Too bad, because in one of our configurations, we use a tape changer with 6 tapes, four of which are dedicated to a configuration
