- Check your dumpex configuration file. If you included both tape devices,
- then Backup Copilot will try to use both tape devices. If you only have
- /dev/nrst1 listed in your configuration, then please send me a copy of your
- configuration file.
-
- Bottom line: Backup Copilot will only attempt to use the tape drives that
- it is told to use. Anything that doesn't agree with this statement is a
- serious bug.
