I have this Jaz drive and a stack of 10 disks for it. I'd like to use
this as my "tape" drive, and am wondering if amanda supports strange
strategies like this. It's just my home network, so I'm quite willing to
use code from experimental CVS branches.

I'd rather not do something kludgey/hamstrung, like using the Jaz drive as
a holding disk and /dev/null as the tape device, and purposefully letting
backups fail. That just defeats the purpose of using amanda in the first
place ;).

But if there's even semi-working code that either causes the blockdev to
look like a chardev (this would be sort of neat), or just uses the
blockdev as the backup device natively, I'd love to give it a go.

Thanks,

Dan D.
