even more observations: as said the tape changer seems to work
now somewhat (albeit slow changing :-) but somehow amanda it-
self seems to be a bit confused about which tape to use if
i read the follwing:
These dumps were to tape fptsys04.
The next tape Amanda expects to use is: fptsys04.
hm - this confuses me a bit ... it is with a config which suggested
a new tape in the "without changer" config ... just as a reference
the important parts of the config:
... amanda.conf ...
inparallel 4

may it come from the fact that i'm currently only using the
binaries for chg-scsi and amtape from the 2.4.2 cvs tree
whereas the other ones are from the 2.4.2p2 src tarball?
and again - thanks in advance
t
p.s.: ... or maybe it comes from the fact, that amanda will
not handle multiple backup on the same day - what i am
doing for my tests here?
