As a novice that just worked on amanda, I'd say you're correct on the
learning curve. I installed the Debian package and couldn't get it working
at all; downloaded and compiled the source, went through all the man pages
and readme's (plus that chapter you mentioned) and got it to use one tape
of my Python 4-tape DAT changer. Trying to use the changer script kept
saying it was happy, but refused to actually do anything...
But, if you have a bit of time, it's quite nice... Now if I can just
figure out how to get chg-scsi to work, I'll be happy...
