It can only be done with amanda 3.4, where you can define 2 storage and
put on the dumptype on which storage you want the dump to go.

I've just acquired and set up a new Overland T48 with two LTO7 tape

I already have an Overland T24 with one LTO6 tape drive that I've been
using for a few years.
I plan on transitioning our large data to the LTO7 and thought I might
keep the basic administrative backups on the LTO6, using the same
instance of Amanda.
Anyone know how to configure this? I can imagine defining two changers
and specifying which to use in the dumptype, but I don't see quite how
that would be done.
My changer is as follows. I've added the new device ID as a comment
for the moment. The new tape drives came up as nst1 and nst2.
define changer NEO200 {
tpchanger
"chg-robot:/dev/tape/by-id/scsi-1IBM_3573-TL_00L2U78AB542_LL0" # your
changer device file (T24)
#>>> NOTE!!! following is the new (7/14/2017) LTO7 48slot 2drive tape
library. Need to work out transition.

"chg-robot:/dev/tape/by-id/scsi-1BDT_FlexStor_II_00MX64200626_LL0" #

}
tpchanger "NEO200"
Just as an aside, we are starting to set up new data arrays using 10TB
HGST Helium filled drives — eight of them in the last month or so
(multipath SAS configured mdadm raid6 with lvm). Almost makes you want
to pull out your hair thinking about backups.
