Hello

I have a18G filesystem that needs to be backed up and do not have a tape
changer.  I have tried the following :-

runtapes 2              # number of tapes to be used in a single run of
amdump
tpchanger "chg-manual"  # the tape-changer glue script
tapedev "/dev/nst0"     # the no-rewind tape device to be used
changerfile "/usr/adm/amanda/WeeklySet1/changer"

When I run amdump WeeklySet1, it asks me to load tapes repeatedly.
3 files were created in the log directory and are as follows :-
changer-status-access, changer-status-clean, changer-status-slot with
following contents : -
changer-status-access
::::::::::::::
2
::::::::::::::
changer-status-clean
::::::::::::::
0
::::::::::::::
changer-status-slot
::::::::::::::
1

Since 2 tapes of 12G should be enough for the backup ( no hardware
compression and using tar) , I am not sure what I'm doing wrong.
can anyone help me with this config???

Thanx in advance
Madhvi
