I think I did this. There is no 'setchanger' command in amrecover. The manual page for amanda says that, if the argument to the settape command in amrecover is the same as the value in amrecover_changer in amanda.conf file, then amrecover will use the changer. I have now tried setting amrecover_changer to "/dev/nst0", "/dev/sg3", and "0" in amanda.conf, the last being the same as what changerdev is set to. None of these work. I'm guessing from the responses I'm getting that no one else on the list is even trying to use a changer directly from amrecover? I know a lot of you have changers; is everyone else simply manually using amtape to load the appropriate tape? I suppose if you have multiple changer cartridges this is a low priority item, since you probably have to swap cartridges to do a restore anyway. But what about those of you with robots? -- Stephen Walton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Dept. of Physics & Astronomy, Cal State Northridge
