Hello,

I just finished installing a StorageTek L40 library with 40 slots and
with 4 LTO drives. Using mtx-1.2.16rel I can access and move tapes
from slots and drives even though I have to do a 'mt offline' to get
the robot to pick tapes from drives as otherwize I get scsi timeouts
(is this a known behaviour?). This tape library will be used to backup
a 3TB raid systems, which is partitionned for the moment with one chunk
of 500GB and a lot of chunks of 100GB.

Any recommendations on how to setup amanda to backup this raid? I'm
planning on having a dumpcycle of 6 weeks, a runspercycle of 30 and
tapecycle of 40. Does this make sense at all? 

One more thing: what is the most effective way of using the 4 LTO
drives? Should I have more than 1 config?

TIA,
jf
