This is a completely different issue. The tape device is something Amanda needs to takl to the tape device; the tapetype is used for calculating the amount of space you can store in the tape drive. You can create a new tapetype, if you wish. But the first thing you have to do is to figure out which device `mt' is talking to by default, and list that device in `tapedev', in amanda.conf. You should also comment out all tapechanger-related flags from amanda.conf, since you don't have a tape changer. -- Alexandre Oliva http://www.dcc.unicamp.br/~oliva aoliva@{acm.org} oliva@{dcc.unicamp.br,gnu.org,egcs.cygnus.com,samba.org} Universidade Estadual de Campinas, SP, Brasil To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
