Actually, I can create a file system (ext2 or ext3) on the optical disk and access it just like any other harddrive. So looks like Amanda isn't setup to deal with this.

Just looked it up. Those units look nice.  I am not
sure if amanda works with optical drives yet... can
you use tar to write to it??? or do you have to use
burner software to write to them.  That would be
awesome if you could write to it with tar.

Hello,
      I'm looking for help in getting amanda
configured.  I'm lost with
all the config files that I don't know what to edit.
This is what I have:
PC Running Linux RH7.3
1 HP Optical SureStore 1200EX juke box
          10 Optical RW drives
           238 pieces of media each holds 5.2GB

I have mtx working and it looks like it sees the
juke box and can talk
with it.  I'm not looking at amanda to do regular
backups but rather
just periodic archives of certain files/directories.
So just looking to see if anyone has configured a
optical juke box to
work with Amanda.

Thanks...
