Sounds like you have errors in either your amanda.conf and/or ?chg-zd-mtx?.conf files. In case you overlooked it, the first part of the chg-zd-mtx is a set of instructions for setting up these files. You can also test chg-zd-mtx without amtape. That is often a good first step, then checkout amtape. To do this, you need to be in the same directory as the amanda.conf and changer-script file. The valid command options are at the end of the. So you might do things like: cd <amanda_config_dir> <path_to>/chg-zd-mtx -slot 4 <path_to>/chg-zd-mtx -search <tapelabel> <path_to>/chg-zd-mtx -info <path_to>/chg-zd-mtx -reset <path_to>/chg-zd-mtx -clean -- Jon H.
