I don't see a problem with your changer. For this amdump, amanda did not need a second tape. Everything could fit on a single tape. Runtapes doesn't say how many tapes amanda WILL use, it is how many it CAN use. However, I'm surprised amanda did an incremental of /usr when you have dumpcycle 0. I expected that to force full dumps everytime. -- Jon H. LaBadie [EMAIL PROTECTED] JG Computing 4455 Province Line Road (609) 252-0159 Princeton, NJ 08540-4322 (609) 683-7220 (fax)
