Hmmm... I see. I was thinking about using those packages here:
http://aixpdslib.seas.ucla.edu/packages/amanda.html
Since the servers aren't mine, I'd thought about being as little
intrusive on its configuration as possible.

The packages above are for 2.4.4p2.

Thanks! I'll read it. There might be some other advices.

So, I still haven't had the problem -- and I hope I don't have it.

We're not goingo to use any tape library. It will be only one LTO tape
drive. (I haven't ever used LTO tapes, my last installation was with a
DLT on a Dell running Linux...)

If you can send them to me, I'd like to take a look at those. :-)
Thank you!
