Also, you should have a line that says something like tapedev "/dev/nst0" If this doesn't help, e-mail me your amanda.conf file and I'll see if there are any obvious problems. You can also try contacting the amanda mailing list (see http://www.amanda.org). Max -- The hopeful depend on a world without end Whatever the hopeless may say Neil Peart, 1985
