I'd second Frank (Smith)'s idea. With our 2nd jukebox and LTO drives I'd much prefer to use a single amanda config rather than the current config, designed to utilize both drives at the same time (no matter how well it is working) of 2 amanda configs, one for local and one for remote disks, running _concurrently_ on the same processor.
