That is what I was looking for, a description of the disklist format.
But I'm lacking the manpage:

If you installed amanda with --prefix, then the manpages will also be installed in that --prefix, which may not be in your manpath.

On my system, Amanda manpages are in /home/vectro/amanda/install-2.5.0/man -- so I definitely have specify the directory manually. :-)

As a side note, I also install with a prefix (e.g. /pkgs/amanda-2.5.0b2)
and I use "graft" to create symlinks into a more standard directory.

In fact, I have several versions of amanda online, and one of them
is "current" (the one that graft made symlinks for).  And I can switch
between them in a matter of seconds.

"graft" is just a perl script, but works perfect for these things.

See:  http://www.gormand.com.au/peters/tools/graft/graft.html

And of course, the man-pages appear in the normal MANPATH too.
