I just checked my latest man page for amanda.conf that goes with 3.2.0, and
its not there. I presume it has been deprecated. NDI when Jon.
My scripts do something similar, except they append them to the just used
vtape. I think, there has been some tom foolery with the data symlink
recently, so let me check.
Yup, its all working:
