Hi I try to run Amanda with RedHat Linux 9, on a Dell PowerEdge server,
I have read the FAQ, README files, searched the web, but I am very confused
about the the configuration files needed to modify to get my Sony SDX-300C
working.
I'd appreciate any one give me some advise. There are many sample
configration
files under and I am puzzled which one to use, and where to copy to.

I have following 3 files were automatically created at /etc/amanad
by installation process during the Linux 9 OS install (with option selected
for tape backup) so it got amanda installed. I have following files on my
system, and I tried to modify them to suit my system.... painfully
#ls -l /etc/amanda

------------------------------------------------
and modified the /etc/amanda/amanda.conf, but it seems not enough, so
I created a sub-directory under /etc/amanda/test, and put some additional
files, and modified them, however, I am still having trouble to get amanda
to work.

When I issue a command like 'mt -f /dev/nst0 fsf' does seem move the
tape winding.
Any input and directions would be highly appreciated.
Thanks.
