First nit: the subscription greeting for this mailing list said the archives were at "ftp://ftp.amanda.org/pub/amanda/maillist-archives"; but they are not there. I could not find any elsewhere. So I cannot look at past messages to see if my question is answered. It was not answered in the FAQ.

What I would like to know is how Amanda handles backup to disk. I did find a "file driver". I'm not sure if that is meant to be the "to disk" method or not. It certainly would have some complications, depending on how one considered disks as equivalent to tapes.
Yes, see: http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/File_driver [...]
But I don't see any such "disk driver". And I overlooking something, or is the "file driver" the only means? If the latter is true, will AMANDA know to mount attached disks as filesystems to access the "tape files"?
Amanda will not mount them. But this is something that can be done automatically by hal (if using Redhat or similar linux), or some automounter. -- Paul Bijnens, xplanation Technology Services Tel +32 16 397.511 Technologielaan 21 bus 2, B-3001 Leuven, BELGIUM Fax +32 16 397.512 http://www.xplanation.com/ email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *********************************************************************** * I think I've got the hang of it now: exit, ^D, ^C, ^\, ^Z, ^Q, ^^, * * F6, quit, ZZ, :q, :q!, M-Z, ^X^C, logoff, logout, close, bye, /bye, * * stop, end, F3, ~., ^]c, +++ ATH, disconnect, halt, abort, hangup, * * PF4, F20, ^X^X, :D::D, KJOB, F14-f-e, F8-e, kill -1 $$, shutdown, * * init 0, kill -9 1, Alt-F4, Ctrl-Alt-Del, AltGr-NumLock, Stop-A, ... * * ...
