One point -- you should use a non-rewinding device name for anything you do with Amanda. So that should be "-d /dev/rmt/0n". Also, I'm guessing, based on the device name, that you're running on Solaris. Your original report mentioned /dev/rmt/0bn. Don't use the BSD names (the ones with 'b' in them). Those process tapes in a slightly different way than the default (no 'b') System V way that Amanda (more or less) expects. >Sorry for annoying. I just post my solution in hope it helps some. You haven't been annoying at all (far from it). And I, at least, really appreciate hearing that a problem got resolved, and what it took to make it work. As you said, there is always the hope that what you found will help someone else later. >Lorenzo John R. Jackson, Technical Software Specialist, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
