It's been a long time since I used that feature in Amanda, but check the following thread on the
Zmanda forums. It might give you an idea of what to look for.

Hi! So I'm pretty new to amandabackup and wanted to know if someone could help me with something
I'm seeing.
I have a small network, consisiting of ten clients and one server which is the amanda backup
server. I don't run anything but local backups of an NFS shared space. The server has a HP LTO-5
tapedrive directly attached and I was given 30 tapes in which to complete backups.
I'm the only admin on the network, so if I am out that day, no tapes get put in the drive and when
I arrive the next day, I see 100 emails from amanda that makes me think amanda thinks I have a
changer instead of a single tape drive.
Here is my amanda.config:
org "DARSet"
mailto "admin@localhost"
dumpcycle 6week
runspercycle 5
tapechanger "chg-manual"
tapedev "/dev/nst0"
changerfile "/etc/amanda/DARSet/chg-manual.conf"
changerdev "/dev/null"
tapetype HP-LTO-5
labelstr "^DARSet[0-9][0-9]*$"
dtimeout 1800
ctimeout 30
etimeout 300
define dumptype global {
comment "Global Definitions"
auth "local"
}
define dumptype gui-base {
global
program "GNUTAR"
comment "gui base dumptype dumped with tar"
compress none
index yes
}
define tapetype HP-LTO-5 {
length 1480633696 kbytes
filemark 739 kbytes
speed 81970 kps
blocksize 32 kbytes
}
includefile "advanced.conf"
includefile "/etc/amanda/template.d/dumptypes"
includefile "/etc/amanda/template.d/tapetypes"
How can I tell amanda that it is a single drive? Thanks for any help!
Matt
