It uses them individually, but you can configure amanda to switch to a new tape when the current tape runs out. We have an Overland autochanger here, and I'm using it as a tape stacker with chg-multi. There are scripts available to also control it as a changer. You can use mtx to move tapes around too. -- <->Software Engineering Research Group<-> Feel the SERG! http://serg.mcs.drexel.edu/ CAT 186, The Microwave http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?search=Christopher+Dahn&op=index
