Marc,
I don't explicitly specify /dev/null as my tapedev. It defaults to that
value. I followed some instructions
I found from the archive that for tapeless backup, you do not need to
specify tapedev.

I do have these followings:
tpchanger "chg-multi"
changerfile "/.../changer.conf"

the changer.conf has:
multieject 0
gravity 0
<...snip...>
firstslot 1
lastslot 6

slot 1 file:/path/to/tape/file1
slot 2 file:/path/to/tape/file2
<...snip...>


I only did "ammt -f /path/to/tape/file1/00001.server._home.1 rewind"

I tried using "ammt -f file:/path/to/tape/file1/00001.server._home.1 rewind"
as you suggested, and this is the error I got:

file:/path/to/tape/file1/00001.server._home.1 rewind failed: Not a directory


Any other ways I may use??
