I have found a SCSI tape drive spec below it was once used for backups
prior to moving over to Amanda.
External Seagate DAT subsystem for NT, Windows, NetWare, DDS-3
recording format, consists of STD124000N DAT drive (data
transfer rate 2.2 MB/s, 24 GB capacity with DDS-DC data
compression), tabletop enclosure, tape, 1 m cable with 50pin
high density plug,
Thus could this possible be used a a tape changer I have checked the
Amanda homepage but doesn't mention any devices.
I'm not acquainted with the device described above, but the description
doesn't mention anywhere that it's a changer. Looks more like an
external tape drive.
If you can connect this to your existing backup server as a *second*
tape drive, then you can most likely setup Amanda to use both drives.
I've read that Amanda has a changer script for this purpose, called
chg-multi, but I haven't used it with real tape drives myself.
