I use chg-multi, with multiple drives, and I have
this script to do my backups:


##################################
#!/bin/sh

CONFIG=$1

/opt/local/sbin/amdump  $CONFIG
LOGF=`ls -t /var/opt/amanda/$CONFIG/log.2* | head -1`
/opt/local/sbin/amtoc -a -t $LOGF

grep '^START taper .* label ' $LOGF |
while read line
do
        /opt/local/sbin/amtape $CONFIG eject
        /opt/local/sbin/amtape $CONFIG slot prev
done
###################################

It generates an Table-of-contents for each tape and
ejects those drives which have been used.

The executables may be installed in different places on your
server.
