Marc, I don't explicitly specify /dev/null as my tapedev. It defaults to that value. I followed some instructions I found from the archive that for tapeless backup, you do not need to specify tapedev. I do have these followings: tpchanger "chg-multi" changerfile "/.../changer.conf" the changer.conf has: multieject 0 gravity 0 <...snip...> firstslot 1 lastslot 6 slot 1 file:/path/to/tape/file1 slot 2 file:/path/to/tape/file2 <...snip...> I only did "ammt -f /path/to/tape/file1/00001.server._home.1 rewind" I tried using "ammt -f file:/path/to/tape/file1/00001.server._home.1 rewind" as you suggested, and this is the error I got: file:/path/to/tape/file1/00001.server._home.1 rewind failed: Not a directory Any other ways I may use??
