Thanks a bunch,
Which leads me to the next question...
Q: Anyone know how to prevent a HP 1559B ( SureStor
24x6 ) from rewinding the tape with the "amtape
<config> eject" command?
I guess I am confused about what amanda expects since
I have only been using it for a week now.
Let's say.... TAPE000 is the first tape in my 4 week
cycle, weekdays only. Is the start of the next cycle
going to "expect" TAPE000 and overwrite the contents
regardsless of what's on it? or will it append to
TAPE000?
In tapelist: What other than "reuse" does amanda look
for?
