This changer script is designed for IOMEGA or JAZZ disks of various sizes as well as any other removable disk media. This is a PURELY MANUAL changer. It requests insertion of disk media via messages on /dev/tty. So it cannot be used via crontab. Make sure you comply with any of the following. - Add statements

       tpchanger "chg-iomega"
       tapedev "file:<mount_point_of_removable_disk>"
       (e.g. tapedev "file:/mnt/iomega" )
       tapetype IOMEGA      

       define tapetype IOMEGA {
           comment "IOMega 250 MB floppys"
           length 250 mbytes
           filemark 100 kbytes
           speed 1 mbytes
       }

to your amanda.conf. - Add entry to /etc/fstab to specify mount point of removable disk and make this disk mountable by any user. - Format all disks, add a "data" sub directory and label all disks by using amlabel. - Be aware that as of version 2.4.4p1, AMANDA can't handle backups that are larger than the size of the removable disk media. So make sure /etc/amanda/<backup_set>/disklist specifies chunks smaller than the disk size.
