amrecover does not change the tape by itself.
You have to keep in mind that the chg-disk emulates a robotic with the hard drive.
And amrecover (certainly due to security reasons that I won't discuss here) does not
automatically search the correct tape in the robot: the tape(s) you want to use
Hi
That s a bit strange.
my amrecover can change tape and find the good.
you have to put the following parameter in amanda.conf
amrecover_changer /dev/null
and to launch amrecover in that way
amrecover -d /dev/null
then the tape server will use the changer specified in the amanda.conf
file

I suppose there is some reason to make this function with ANY string.

Hi!
I'm using amanda 2.4.4p2 on Redhat 8, with the file output driver
(i.e. writing to disk instead of tapes). The config is working great,
but using amrecover is a little clunky since the current tape slot
(directory) is usually set to the next available tape, and not the slot
required for

Stefan,
The settape command in amrecover is what I was looking for (thanks
Toomas!).
I'm using the chg-disk changer. Does amrecover use the changer script?
And would it be possible to modify the script to choose the correct
slot?
Marc.

Good question. There is the parameter amrecover_changer which
explicitly sets the changer used. Maybe you try to set this in your
conf.
ML And
Stefan,
The settape section of the man page for amrecover says:
settape [[server]:][tapedev|default]
If you want amrecover to use your changer, the tapedev must be equal
to the amrecover_changer setting on the server.
I used this setting in amanda.conf:
amrecover_changer
