Also, I currently am using a 7 tape changer (which I think I have mtx talking to nicely but with some small eccentricities). I currently have it setup as follows:

tpchanger "chg-scsi"    # not sure about this yet

I had to write my own glue, but if you have mtx working, is there some

The current plan is to set up the backups to run 1 full per week with incrementals (yes, I know amanda does her own thing). There are
