mtx

controls tape autochangers

MTX can be used to manipulate tape auto-changers, also known as "jukeboxes", such that backup software can make use of the multiple tape capabilities of the auto-changer. In particular, this is necessary glue for using a backup system like Amanda with a DDS auto-changer like the HP Surestore 12000e.
