The number of "reuse" tapelist lines should equal the tapecycle value.
If there are less lines than tapecycle, Amanda will want new tapes
until it gets enough in the tapelist.
But that's not what's happening to you. You actuall

I found adding a "*" before a directory name totally stuffed things up.
I have things like:

If a hard drive failed I would have to:

This will also prevent amdump when clients are not responding, which
could be more than what's wanted. This might be a little better:

This just runs the server (includin

Thanks Christoph. I actually have an external terminator on the device --
and the cable is <= a meter in length.
I talked with the people at Exabyte late yesterday and their opinion is that
the 'drive door sensor' might be faulty. That is why I get the door open bit
set when i do an 'mt status'.

Hi,
I'm wondering about the time, how long tapetype runs. I used
tapetype on an OnStream ADR50 and it runs 41 hours and 19
