As this is still a very common question when it comes to AMANDA there
is a document called TOP-TEN-QUESTIONS. It could be found in the
archives of this list and is already part of the AMANDA-CVS.

I have put it up at
http://www.oops.co.at/oops_technical_amanda_contrib.htm until the next
stable release of AMANDA will be available.

Look for the "friday-tape-question", it's the third section.
