Not the way you're thinking.

One easy thing to do in amanda to install a large cheap holdingdisk,
set reserve to some low value, leave the tape out of the drive,
run backup for 5 days, then amflush them all to tape at once.

If you mirror or RAID the holdingdisk, it's probably as reliable
as leaving the tape in the drive and concatenating (which amanda
will not do).
