The extent to which amanda deals with a tape changer is limited to the tape-changer program (which is often implemented as a script). I am currently using amanda; the server is a FreeBSD-2.2.6-R box; the changer script that I wrote uses chio. Only reason I haven't sent it in is that someone else also wrote one, and probably did a better job of conforming to the "style" used in amanda. david -- David Wolfskill UNIX System Administrator dhw@whistle.com voice: (650) 577-7158 pager: (650) 371-4621 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
