Hello List, I'm trying to use amanda with vtapes, but so far have been unable to. The way I read amcheck output, amanda tries to use slot 0 and slot (empty string) instead of starting at slot one. Is that true? If so, what would cause such a behaviour?
The setup has never run, so it's quite possible I've messed it up...
Any hint appreciated.
Thanks,
A.
