Hello,
I am in need of help regarding diskdev, tapedev, and tapetype. I
am using amanda 2.4.2p2-4 on RedHat 7.2 with a Dell 120T DDS4 autoloader
and Sony 20/40G dgd 150p tapes. First specifying diskdev in the disklist
file. Is this the tape device or the actual partition to be backed up
for example /dev/sda3 or can you use for example /etc? Second the
tapedev in amanda.conf. Is this the actual tape device and can this be
verified by running the command?
#mt -f /dev/st0 status
here is the output from that command on my system
SCSI 2 tape drive:
File number=-1, block number=-1, partition=0.
Tape block size 0 bytes. Density code 0x0 (default).
Soft error count since last status=0
General status bits on (50000):
DR_OPEN IM_REP_EN
Last the tapetype in amanda.conf. I noticed that the tapes I am using
are not in the list how do I configure to use these tapes?
