So I tried the `file' output driver and `chg-disk', using 8 virtual tapes...
| tpchanger "chg-disk"
| changerfile "/etc/amanda/DailySet1/changer"
| tapedev "file:/scratch/amanda/DailySet1"
| tapetype HARD-DISK
| labelstr "DAILY[0-9][0-9]*$" # label constraint regex: all tapes must match
Labeling the tapes (8 tapes) worked fine.
Amcheck runs fine:
| # su - backup amcheck DailySet1
| Amanda Tape Server Host Check
| -----------------------------
| amcheck-server: slot 8: date X label DAILY08 (new tape)
| NOTE: skipping tape-writable test
| Tape DAILY08 label ok
| NOTE: info dir /var/lib/amanda/DailySet1/curinfo: does not exist
| NOTE: it will be created on the next run
| NOTE: index dir /var/lib/amanda/DailySet1/index/anakin: does not exist
| Server check took 0.217 seconds

| Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
| --------------------------------
| Client check: 1 host checked in 0.178 seconds, 0 problems found

I can send the contents of /tmp/amanda/* if you need them, but I didn't see
anything fishy there.
Anyone with a clue? Thanks!
