There's two ways to use a hard disk as your backup medium. The first way is to define your tapedevice as a non-existent tape drive, and amanda will go into "degraded" mode and backup to disk. This appears to be what you were doing (on purpose or not). 2.4.2p2 "supports" this. The other way is to use the file: driver as your tapedevice. The details are in the amanda(8) man page shipped with 2.4.3bN. Only 2.4.3bN supports this. -- Joshua Baker-LePain Department of Biomedical Engineering Duke University
