Yes. Be sure that each client only appears in one schdule, as you cannot run two amandads at the same time. Also, be sure that they don't share the same holding disk, as that could confuse amanda. > One of my drives is an Onstream ADR50. I understand there is a problem > with this drive and amanda.

ISTR that there *may* have been some firmware release that made it minimally useful, but the general consensus was yes, they're useless (and not just with amanda). Not having one, I can't give any more than that vague hand waving and insinuation. -- Joshua Baker-LePain Department of Biomedical Engineering Duke University
