If I had Linux as a backup server I'd rather use chg-scsi.
It gives you much more flexibility than other scripts.
Most important feature that is useful when you have large number of
slots,
you can split the changer into few independant tape pools and use them
in
different configurations.

Sorry if this is covered elsewhere, but I couldn't find anything about it.
My understanding of the way that amanda works is that it streams the
dump file to the holding disk on the tapehost,
amrecover works with holdingdisk files as well.
Looks like default options for amrecover are incorrect.
Try to give it -d -t -s explicitly.

I believe Amanda will work with any scsi changer.
AFAIK, the only hardware dependent part is bar code support.

What parts of amanda should I be putting aside in case my backup

In case you know the location of the backup sets on the tapes you don't
even need Amanda to recover.
I think you should rewind the tape.

It is because the machine is multihomed and forward DNS lookup does not

You either have to put an additional record in forward zone with
