I've heard rumors that some people may have been able to get Amanda to

backup to both virtual tapes, and physical tapes in the same config (using

RAIT I would assume).

If anyone has this working, I'd like to hear about it. It looks like it

should be possible, but I really don't want to reinvent the wheel here, if

someone else has already got it working.

My experiences are summarized here:

A couple of questions if you don't mind.

1. Did you make your virtual tapes the same size as your physical tapes?
2. If not, what did your tapetype look like?

Amanda stops writing to a tape when one of the tapes gives EOT.
So normally, you make them both the same size.

Actually. It is even simpler.  Amanda sees the pair of tapes as
one, with only one tapedefinition.   So if you take the length
of the physical tape, than the vtape is limited to the same value.
