Hi Marc,

I've been successfully runing amanda with L9/LTO (more than 5 years)
C2/LTO3 for, 2 years (?) and just (two weeks ago) installed a second
C2/LTO3 on another amanada server.

All installations are running well, though I did put in place a
modified file for mtx, will have to check and see if there isn't
a newer version of the script as I attached the second L9/LTO 
to the system with the second C2/LTO3 and has some errors when
running commands against the L9, though it seems to work perfectly
when I operate the C2.

Was thinking of perhaps crossposting to amanda and mtx lists 
later today.

Last nights backups to the new C2/LTO3 was 440 Gig, with HW 
compressions enabled on the LTO3, so I don't actually know
how much tape was consumed.

Probably I should tell you I'm running these configs on Solaris 9
and 10 systems (T2000 and v240 servers).
