You can't share the index directory for both config. Amanda will remove
the index file that don't belong to the config.

Amanda (amrecover) can't recover files from multiple config.

But you can use a third config for recovery:
  Copy the index files to the new config (or symlink)
  Set your 'labelstr' to accept both label.
  Merge the tapelist files.
  Copy the LOGDIR/log.<datestamp>.x to the new config (or symlink)
     (You can change the last number)
