Yes, the documentation shows a filespec for changerfile, but I have not found anything (i.e. shipped with the amanda or mtx distributions from SourceForge or in the email archives) named 'changer' or containing lines to support chg-mtx or chg-zd-mtx (in the same manner, say, that chg-multi.conf su

Okay, I have Amanda set up and running well on my Redhat 7.3 system. I ran my first two backups, which seem to have gone well. I'm backing up the tape server machine (RH 7.3), another Redhat (7.1) machine, and one Windows 2000 machine. I'm using dump for the remote machine and gnutar for the l

I'm setting up Amanda to use an Exabyte 220 library under Irix 6.5. It appears that chg-mtx or chg-zd-mtx is the script to use. Reviewing amanda.conf and the list archives, it appears that I must specify changerfile in amanda.conf, but I can't find info on what changerfile to use with either scrip
