In amanda.conf: amrecover_changer "string" When you start amrecover you use the commands 'setdate' 'setdisk' etc. Well if you do 'settape string' then amrecover will be able to access the changer and load an online tape if it's not the one already loaded in the tape drive. If you don't 'settape changer' then you have to do this yourself, ie manually as amanda assume that the drive is loaded with the appropriate tape. A very useful feature! jf > > Can someone help this simple mind. > > Thanks > > Robert > > > _____________________________________________________________________ > Robert P.
