Hi That s a bit strange.
my amrecover can change tape and find the good. you have to put the following parameter in amanda.conf amrecover_changer "/dev/null" and to launch amrecover in that way amrecover -d /dev/null then the tape server will use the changer specified in the amanda.conf file to find the good tape. hope that helps Le lun 26/01/2004 Ã 09:42, JC Simonetti a Ãcrit : > amrecover does not change the tape by itself. > You have to keep in mind that the "chg-disk" emulates a robotic with the hard drive. > And amrecover (certainly due to security reasons that I won't discuss here) does not > automatically search the correct tape in the robot: the tape(s) you want to use when > restoring have to be in the tape device when needed. > In my case I have 2 xterms, one with amrecover, and the other one where I run amtape > to load the right tape when amrecover tells me to do it. > > > On 22 Jan 2004 11:54:11 -0700 > Marc Langlois <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Stefan, > > > > The settape section of the man page for amrecover says: > > > > "settape [[server]:][tapedev|default] > > > > If you want amrecover to use your changer, the tapedev must be equal > > to the amrecover_changer setting on the server." > > > > I used this setting in amanda.conf: > > > > amrecover_changer chg-disk > > > > then, in amrecover: > > > > settape chg-disk > > > > and the extract invokes the chg-disk script and sets the "./data" > > sym-link to the correct slot automatically.
