So, in the Advanced Options of your Periodic Backup, set the pre-backup command to
arkc -tape -recycle -D name=[[`arkc -drive -read -D \
name=__drivename | sed -e 's/tpname=//g'`]
+
+Substitue '__drivename' for the name of the drive that you configured in Arkeia.
And in the post-backup command:
mt -f /dev/st0 eject
If you don't specifity __-f /dev/st0__, mt(1) will use __/dev/tape__, so you could just
ln -s /dev/st0 /dev/tape

+!Help! I get W00800015 "server is a type 1 machine" / '1'! You are limited to '0' standard machine(s)
+
+You get emailled/see backup logs like this:
+
+ I00800060 Start of total backup: Savepack "Daily Backup", Drivepack "DAT", Pool "Tapes"
+ I00800080 Owner is "root"
+ I00800020 Adding savepack "Daily Backup"
+ W00800015 server is a type 1 machine
+ E00800017 '1'! You are limited to '0' standard machine(s)
+ E00800090 Cannot start backup
+ I00800024 "0" files, "1" MB, compressed at "1.0", "1" seconds, "60" MB/mn
+ I00800025 End of backup
+
+Your machine still is a type 2 ("cheap" machine, see [here|http://www.knox-software.com/lic_types.html?p=1]) but the hostname has changed.
+
+What this probably means instead of __hostname__ returning your short name, it now returns your FQDN.
+
+This is often caused by changing the order of your line in /etc/hosts:
+
+ 10.1.2.3 server.local.domain server
+
+If you get these errors, change the order of the entries in that line:
+
+ 10.1.2.3 server server.local.domain
+
+And all should come right. Figured out with help from [here|http://www.arkeia.com/archives_indexed/2002/12/msg00094.html] and [here|http://support.arkeia.com/cgi-bin/arkeia.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_sid=ihEQ4JQg&p_lva=&p_faqid=71&p_created=952135013&p_sp=cF9ncmlkc29ydD0mcF9yb3dfY250PTEmcF9zZWFyY2hfdGV4dD1yZXRpcmUmcF9zZWFyY2hfdHlwZT0zJnBfcHJvZF9sdmwxPX5hbnl_JnBfcHJvZF9sdmwyPX5hbnl_JnBfc29ydF9ieT1kZmx0JnBfcGFnZT0x&p_li=].
+
+-- As a sidenote on the above suggestion --
+
+I have had some success altering the way arkeia aliases each machine without modifying the host file. Our host files is set with FQDN first followed by alias/shortnames. Just executing
+
+root# ./arkmvhost --host fqdn.company.com --newhost shortname
+
+and then
+
+root# ./arkboot -start
+
+to restart arkeia has cleared up most issues. With the exception of those where we have found errors in the host file itself.
