Hello all.
We've been trying for quite sometime to get this backup tape to work. We've
found that amanda doesn't 'like' some types of tape drives. The way it
worked on our system was the scsi emulation idea we got through this
mailling list, thanks again for all the input. This involves installing the
ide-scsi and the st (scsi-tape) modules and thier dependencies. After that,
for the first time, we could amlabel the tapes, even though a message
appeared about the sense data, and be on our way to some good, healthy
amanda'ing.
If there are any queries about this topic, please e-mail me

Keep Amanda'ing,
Cheers, Trevor and co.
The system we're running:
Operating System: Red Hat Linux 7.1
Kernel: 2.4
Amanda Version: 2.4.2p2
Tape Drive: Seagate Travan 20 GB ATAPI (ide) Model
Tape: Travan 20 GB (TR-5)
