In my case, I will have a set of config -- probably one for each client, so in a first pass at generalization, I symlinked the vtapes as "./dst" This may not turn out to be helpful, but I won't know until I have a few more hours under my belt. > I prefer mounted filesystems under /mnt, and logs under /var/log (or in > systemd journal ... another topic) > I mount my NAS or external disks under /mnt, like in > # /etc/fstab > UUID=5a5a9927-995f-4f0f-98ff-d222561f84ff /mnt/externaldisk1 ext4 > relatime,noauto,user 0 1 I distinguish locally attached devices (mounted under "/mnt") from network attached devices. I don't know it this is important, but if keeps me aware of what I am doing, since putting huge amount of traffic on the LAN has performance consequences to the users that copying huge amount of data around among locally attached devices does not. This is probably just a matter of style. > chown these dirs (= mounted fs) to your amandauser to allow amanda > rw-access. > and then define your chg-disk changer as in: > tpchanger "chg-disk:/mnt/externaldisk1" > proceed from there ... I think I've done that. I suspect my problem is going to be more subtle. Like, for example, I named my "slots" "vtape.00 -- vtape.62", but I find nowhere to tell AMANDA that. This is, in fact, probably my whole problem, which should be trivial to eliminate, once I learn how to tell AMANDA of my choice. > Did you read: > https://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/How_To:Set_Up_Virtual_Tapes#Configuration Yes -- parts of it many times. To the extent that I understand it, I am following it. To the extent that things are not working, I have apparently violated its instructions. (-: Thanks for the help, -- Chris.
