I'm using Mark Holm's chg-qs-mtx script to start my Backup with Amanda. All works fine, but have problems to use the barcode reader. Is there a way to use the barcode reader for faster library operations ?
archiver:/# mtx status Storage Changer /dev/changer:1 Drives, 43 Slots ( 1 Import/Export ) Data Transfer Element 0:Full (Storage Element 27 Loaded):VolumeTag = A00026 Storage Element 1:Full :VolumeTag=A00000 Storage Element 2:Full :VolumeTag=A00001 Storage Element 3:Full :VolumeTag=A00002 Storage Element 4:Full :VolumeTag=A00003 Storage Element 5:Full :VolumeTag=A00004 . . . . . . The VolumeTag is the barcode readers information. Is there a use for this information with Amanada or mtx to load the right tape Amanada want to use next ? Thanks in advance Daniel
