ABedbc> So whats the problem with the configuration of amanda? Without WHICH compression? hw, sw? You have /dev/nst0 in your amanda.conf?

There have been reports and guides about that. Maybe here: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=amanda-users&m=108150730118379&w=2 -- best regards, Stefan Stefan G. Weichinger mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
