I'm probably using quite ancient versions of amanda (using Debian, and
due to a kerberos problem I'm still on 2.5.2p1).
Anyway..

I want to use external disks instead of tapes for my backups. I don't
like having the disks connected all the time since it would be possible
for them to be erased when they are connected.

So I would like to use the disks kind of like normal tapes, and swap the
disk(s) every now and then.
Each disk could possible house several vtapes of big enough size.

Are there other people running like this, or do I need to figure out how
to do this on my own?
What I don't understand after reading the howto-filedriver.txt is if it
would work when I have multiple vtapes on separate disks and therefor
only some of the vtapes available at any one time (depending on which
disk is mounted)


Any ideas, or pointers in the right direction are welcome

Thanks
/Andreas
