Why?  I back up dozens of machines to a single tape via a single config.
That's the usual way of setting up Amanda.  One server, multiple clients.

I think so.  I think it will see the "wrong" tape and advance to the next
one until it finds the "right" tape for the configuration it is running.

You can test this with "amcheck".

Yes.  You have to amlabel all Amanda tapes.
