Hello Jon,
Sorry for late reply and thank you for your help. I guess there is a
problem with the amanda version that I am using. Therefore I will
uninstall this version and install a newer version. This version of
amanda might not be supporting virtual tapes concept. The version I am
using is not able to execute the code chg-multi.
Thanks again,
Best wishes Nejat.

Hello Again,
I sent this email before but i couldn't get the answer or I didnt
understand what I have read well and therefore still have the same kind
of problem
To summarize, I have 15 virtual tapes and I just want to extract a few
files from one of these tapes (just testing amanda,yet).
However, I got the below message (I understood that it tells me to
load the tape test12 but it is already virtual so It is automatic I guess).
Anyone,has an idea about what to be done in this case?It might me
something very simple but since I am a new learner of Amanda I couldn't
find the problem
I think what you are failing to understand is that amanda/amrecover
does not treat vtapes differently than real tapes and drives and changers.
Thus, if you have 15 vtapes, you still only have one vdrive. That vdrive
(the term vdrive has never been used in amanda-users to my knowledge)
still has to be loaded with whichever vtape you are using.
You can set things up to work "manually" or with a changer script,
most often chg-multi or more recently, chg-??disk??.
Can you manipulate your vtapes with the amtape command?
Can you ask which is currently loaded?
Can you load the one you want?
