can u please lert me know whether this tape drive is supported or not?If supported ,how to define this tape drive in the amanda.conf?

Hello, Amanda supports any drive that can be controlled by the UNIX/Linux "mt" command. If you can operate your tape drive with this command, so can Amanda. You configure Amanda to use this tape drive with the Amanda "tapedev" parameter using the device name of the drive, for ex. /dev/nst0.
