Hi

That s a bit strange.

my amrecover can change tape and find the good.

you have to put the following parameter in amanda.conf

amrecover_changer "/dev/null"

and to launch amrecover in that way

amrecover -d /dev/null

then the tape server will use the changer specified in the amanda.conf
file to find the good tape.

hope that helps
