Hello I am still waiting on the delivery of our tape drive. For now I'd like to run AMANDA without a tape device. According to the docs, this can be done but I am encountering some errors when I run amdump.
What values need to be entered for tapetype and/or tapedev? Currently tapedev is /dev/null and tapetype is EXB-8500 in anticipation of our tape device. I'd like to have my amanda.conf set for just keeping the backups on the holding disk for now. I believe that the rest of the file is set up correctly. I am using version 2.4.3.b3 on FreeBSD 4.5 as I was told that I needed to use this version in order to backup with a tape drive. Incidentally here is a snippet of the error that I am getting in my logs: driver: result time 30.226 from taper: TAPE-ERROR [rewinding tape: Operation not supported by device] Also, how can I change the DEFAULT_CONFIG variable? Thanks for all the help. Jeff Auerbach
