Hi,
Is it possible to run amanda without-tapes so it dumps only to holding
disk?
But what I mean is not to take off the tapes physically but disabling tape
writing. I want to accumulate incrementals worth a week and flush them on
friday to a tape...
How can I do such a thing?
Sorry if this subject is off topic but can you use a 40/80 DLT tape
in a 35/70 DLT tape drive. Although we'd only be using it as a 35/70
tape.

technically yes. A DLT-IV tape is the tape of choice on a quantum 7000,
and quantum 8000. I do not know, however, if the tape that was written
with a 7000 series, and later re-used on an 8000 if it would be reliable

But for a definitive answer, give

Because other users specifically asked for it to be left alone (we had

Guess I'm from old school. Older 9trk drives when left on, continually
have the vacuum on, and under constant tension. Its not healthy for the
tape. Does that happen with a DLT tape, how about the DDS tapes.
I would NOT like a live tape to be left in the drive for long periods
of time. Who knows

The client is running on a SuSE-Linux 7.3 - self compiled using

You are actually supposed to run amrecover as root...which makes sense
being that would be the account that would be doing a restore or a
recover typically.

I Beleive you are in error. 4mm dds simply have the head stop spinning,
