The top level directory for the "vtape changer" can contain symbolic links to the actual vtape directories. That way vtape1-7 could be links to where ever drive 1 mounts and vtape8-14 to the other drive. If they mount at the same point, then make sure the real vtape dirs have unique names. I do something similar except the drives are not offline. I use two external usb drives plus part of a hard drive for my vtapes. And there is a collective directory that amanda knows about with all the vtapes as symlinks. jl -- Jon H.
