I'm using a Sony TSL-11000 DDS4 autoloader under Linux without problems. It works as an Ultra2 LVD device without problems. I think I'm getting better throughput than 2.8 MB/s, but it's still well under Fast/Narrow bandwidth due to the limitations of the drive. I use mtx and random access

In other backup systems I've used, I have always kept certain level 0's out of the rotation so's that I could alway go back quite a bit if necessary. That's harder to do with Amanda because when a level 0 is done is not deterministic (well, it is, but it's much more complicated than "it's

I do a full dump every night of the week. ... OK, then you should be in good shape. I don't have the index files. Could you elaborate on the syntax. I am using dump, not tar, and my archives are compressed. I am not sure what you mean by $TAPE and i am a bit shaky on 'the-restore-program'.
