Check your amanda.conf to correct the setting. I forget the Solaris device markings, but your tapedevice should be something like /dev/nrst0 n = non-rewinding On BSDI, FreeBSD the devices were nrst0 and nrsa0 respectively for a SCSI tape drive. Perhaps doing a man mt would give you the correct settings for Solaris. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Doug Silver Network Manager Quantified Systems, Inc ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
