ammt - Amanda version of mt
SYNOPSIS
ammt [ -d ] [ -f|-t device ] command [ count ]
DESCRIPTION
Ammt provides just enough of the standard mt command for the needs of Amanda. This is handy when doing a full restore and the standard mt

Ammt also provides access to the Amanda output drivers that support various tape simulations.
See the amanda(8) man page for more details about Amanda. See the OUTPUT DRIVERS section of amanda(8) for more information on the Amanda
output drivers.
