 Tape test naming convention:
 
-I've renamed the tape tests to include an indication of how
-many tapes and drives each test needs.  The indication consists
-of 4 or 5 characters just before the final -tape.  For example,
-there is a tape test named:
-
-  vol-duration-2t1da-tape
-
-this means that it uses 2 tape (2t) one drive (1d) and the
-autochanger (a).  Another test might be named
+The last part of the tape test name indicates (in general) what kind
+of test it is.  They are broken (for the most part) into test names
+ending with:
 
-  fixed-block-size-1t1d-tape
-
-which means it uses one tape on one drive and no autochanger.
+  -test     => a disk based test
+  -tape     => a tape based test (can be a standalone tape drive
+                or an autochanger). Only one tape will be used
+                and it is assumed to be mounted.
+  -changer  => you have an autochanger

+Testing a Binary Installation:
+
+If you have installed your Bacula from a binary release such as (rpms or
+debs), you can still run regression tests on it.  First, make sure that your
+regression config file uses the same catalog backend as your installed
+binaries.  Then define the variables bin and scripts variables in your config
+file.
+
+Example:
+bin=/opt/bacula/bin
+scripts=/opt/bacula/scripts
+conf=/opt/bacula/etc
+
+The ./scripts/prepare-other-loc will tweak the regress scripts to use
+your binary location. You will need to run it manually once before you run any
+regression tests.
+
+$ scripts/prepare-other-loc
+$ tests/backup-bacula-test
+...
+
+All regression scripts must be run by hand or by calling the test scripts.  
+These are principally scripts that begin with all_... such as all_disk_tests},
+./all_tests
+
+None of the 
+./do_disk, ./do_all, ./nightly...  scripts will work.
+
+If you want to switch back to running the regression scripts from source, first
+remove the bin, scripts, and conf variables from your config file and
+rerun the make setup step.
