Hello all,

It's the first time i try to setup Amanda and i'm a little confused.
I don't think i got the changer device idea right. Does the Dell Powervault
132T Tape Library qualify as a changer device?
I thought so but the mtx command tells me otherwise:

[root@orion DailySet1]# /usr/sbin/mtx -f /dev/sg1 inquiry
Product Type: *Tape Drive*
Vendor ID: 'IBM     '
Product ID: 'ULTRIUM-TD2     '
Revision: '37RH'
Attached Changer: No

I want to backup around 6 servers using that unit. My plans are to use
one tape for all servers per day. Is that a right approach?
Please if someone could point me in the right direction i'd be really
thankfull.

Cheers!
