Hi folks,

I realize that amanda may be overkill for what I want but...has anyone setup amanda to use a Sony DDS2 tape device? I'm currently running the 'tapetype -f /dev/nst0 -e 8g' command to verify the tape itself. Of course, the 8g is compressed instead of normal. Has anyone already configured a tapetype in the config file to address the DDS2 tapes? I'm in the initial stages of setting this up so any advice would be greatly appreciated. (After I play around with my system I get to try it with a production system that uses an Exabyte EZ17 Mammoth autoloader in place of a veritas system that wouldn't handle the changer).
