Hi,

I'm using the chg-disk tape changer. When restoring files using
amrecover, after adding some files and issuing the extract command,
amrecover tells me what tapes are needed, and asks me to "Load tape
<label> now". I load the needed tape using amtape, and tell amrecover
to continue. After a while I'm promted to load another tape, and
so on...

Is it possible to automate the process of loading the needed tapes?
That's not very important, but maybe "nice to have".


TIA, Jukka
