Amanda doesn't normally deal with rewinding devices, use /dev/nst0 instead so amanda can do the rewind if and when she wants. This is normally configured in /configdir/amanda.conf, or if a changer is involved, may be configured in 'changer-you-are-using'.conf -- Cheers, Gene AMD K6-III@500mhz 320M Athlon1600XP@1400mhz 512M 99.07% setiathome rank, not too shabby for a WV hillbilly
