a little info about barcodes

I set up a tape library and it has been working ok for a few weeks
When I label my tapes the label and barcode are written to the tapelist
But when the tape is used the barcode is lost

My amanda.conf has
define changer robot {
   tpchanger "chg-robot:/dev/msl6000_ctl"
   property "tape-device" "0=tape:/dev/msl6000_nst2" "1=tape:/dev/msl6000_nst1"
   property "use-slots" "1-28,30"
}
tpchanger "robot"

And the tapelist
20120118081702 msl6000_08 reuse
20120117235912 msl6000_07 reuse
20120116235911 msl6000_06 reuse
20120113235914 msl6000_05 reuse
20120112235911 msl6000_01 reuse
0 msl6000_23 reuse BARCODE:AAA038L2
0 msl6000_22 reuse BARCODE:AAA041L2
0 msl6000_21 reuse BARCODE:AAA083L2
0 msl6000_20 reuse BARCODE:AAA064L2
0 msl6000_19 reuse BARCODE:AAA081L2

What I need to get amanda to maintain the barcode
Using amanda 3.2.3

Re: LinuxQuestions.org Members Choice Awards -- Vote for Amanda

And, ... Today is the last day. It's a simple matter to sign up as a user at Linuxquestions.org and 
then vote in the polls. Tomorrow, they will post the results and we will see how we did.

howto amvault

I use amanda to backup to vtapes, no problem
I would like to use amvault to copy the vtape backup to a stand alone tape drive
I add to my amanda.conf
define changer vault_tape {
         tapedev "tape:/dev/nst0"
         changerfile "vault_tape"
}
And run
/usr/sbin/amvault --fulls-only --src-timestamp latest --label-template abc_vfs_%% --dst-changer
vault_tape abc_vfs
And the log shows
FATAL amvault Changer 'vault_tape' specifies invalid tpchanger 'tape:/dev/nst0' at
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/Amanda/Changer.pm line 766.
Any help would be appreciated

2011 LinuxQuestions.org Members Choice Awards

https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/2011-linuxquestions-org-members-choice-awards-95/backup-application-of-the-year-919923/

Cool.

Remember, there are a preponderance of members on LinuxQuestions who are not network systems 
administrators. So, many of them tend to think of simple tools as backup applications -- rsync, tar, 
and so on. Nevertheless, even in that environment, rsync was the only one that beat out Amanda. If 
you look at real backup applications, Amanda was way out in the lead.
