You don't need to specify changerdev, changerfile or tpchanger, if you just want to store your backup with a single drive on one tape. Just set tapedev to the non rewinding device.
Also you can have a look at http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/Amanda_chapter_in_Backup_and_Recovery This is a chapter out of the O'Reilly Book "Backup & Recovery". -- Marc Muehlfeld (Leitung IT) Zentrum fuer Humangenetik und Laboratoriumsmedizin Dr. Klein und Dr. Rost Lochhamer Str. 29 - D-82152 Martinsried Telefon: +49(0)89/895578-0 - Fax: +49(0)89/895578-78 http://www.medizinische-genetik.de
