You are free to do as you like but I recommend the following (my own way of doing it, more standard ...) /etc should contain only config Not vtapes, not data, not logs. I prefer mounted filesystems under /mnt, and logs under /var/log (or in systemd journal ... another topic) I mount my NAS or external disks under /mnt, like in # /etc/fstab UUID=5a5a9927-995f-4f0f-98ff-d222561f84ff /mnt/externaldisk1 ext4 relatime,noauto,user 0 1 chown these dirs (= mounted fs) to your amandauser to allow amanda rw-access. and then define your chg-disk changer as in: tpchanger "chg-disk:/mnt/externaldisk1" proceed from there ... Did you read: https://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/How_To:Set_Up_Virtual_Tapes#Configuration (maybe it needs updates as well) ?
