I am using chg-multi with two tape drives. Sometimes my backups only require one tape, other times both. After the weekend, I use amtape current to determine which tape drive is current and put the first of the two tapes asked for by amcheck in it. It doesn't always seem, however, that amanda is writing to the next tape in sequence in the tapelist file. I would appreciate confirmation that "amtape DailySet current" is intended to specify which tape drive amanda expects to search for the next tape, as specified in tapelist.
example: tape 0001 and 0002 were in last night with 0001 in /dev/nst0 and 0002 in /dev/nst1. I had some stuff in the holding area from the weekend, so I ran amflush to the first tape this morning. Now amanda says: The dumps were flushed to tape DailySet-0001. The next 2 tapes Amanda expects to used are: DailySet-0002, DailySet-0003. "amcheck DailySet current" returns the following: amtape: scanning current slot in tape-changer rack: slot 1: chg-multi: slot is empty I expected amanda to look in /dev/nst1 and see tape DailySet-0002. Do I have to move tape DailySet-0002 to /dev/nst0? Vicki
