Hi list,

I use Amanda2.4.3 on FreeBSD 4.7, compiled from ports.
My tapedevice is a DLT 15/30.

I recently switched to software compression, and therefore whish to disable 
hardware compression. This is done with "mt comp off" on FreeBSD, and works 
well on my hardware. The tapedevice is external, in it's own case (the backup 
server is 1U).

The "mt " command is lost after a reboot, or a powercycle on the tapedevice.
A small script, run by cron would solve this, but is it "a better way"? 

I guess I'm looking for a setting in amanda.conf.

Regards Marius Sorteberg
