Move disk without loosing backup history?

[Toralf Lund]

I've just moved a disk from one server to another without really 
changing anything with respect to how the clients see it; logically, the 
disk still represents exactly the same volume on the network.

Is there any way I can change the amanda config so that the disk is 
backed up via the new server, but status is written to the existing 
backup history of the volume?

I originally planned to use hostname aliases in such a way that no 
config update would be necessary in this situation, but as you know, 
Amanda doesn't really understand the alias concept (or didn't when I 
first configured it, anyway)...
