Here's a few things to try: 1. make the tape changer work separately from any AMANDA components. You might need zd-mtx or similar. (I use the ch driver and utilities from http://www.strusel007.de/linux/changer.html.) I'm guessing you're using some flavor of linux based on the device name /dev/sg0.
2. Make AMANDA work with the tape drive in the changer using the chg-manual changer. This means that before every backup, you will have to use the control commands from step 1 to load the right tape, but your backups will be working. 3. try the AMANDA changer script that matches the changer-driver you've selected. If you're using the one I linked to above, search the list archives for my chg-userland perl script that glues it to AMANDA, or let me know if you can't find it, and I'll re-post it. > -----Original Message----- > From: Martin A.
