Ok, i've acivated the "changer" with:
tpchanger "chg-manual"
I could use all the important amtape commands.
Only confusing is the ever changing value for the slot it would/should use.
In the chg-manual-Script the slots are defined from 1 to 99.
Maybe i should change this to 1 to 1 (Only one streamer, only one slot)?
At the moment i leave it as it is.

Amanda Tape Server Host Check
-----------------------------
Holding disk /backup/amanda: 22834176 KB disk space available, using

slot 1: read label `MusikSet-01', date `20070729223038'
Insert tape into slot 2 and press return
slot 2: read label `MusikSet-02', date `X'
NOTE: skipping tape-writable test
Tape MusikSet-02 label ok

Server check took 94.923 seconds
Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------
Client check: 1 host checked in 0.023 seconds, 0 problems found
|--------------------
Then i do some commands after amcheck, don't know anymore exactly why.
|---------------
[amanda@s02 ~]$ amtape MusikSet eject
amtape: slot 2 is ejected.
[amanda@s02 ~]$ amtape MusikSet slot 1
[amanda@s02 ~]$ amtape MusikSet label MusikSet-01
amtape: scanning for tape with label MusikSet-01
amtape: slot 2: date 20070729223038 label MusikSet-01 (exact label
match)
amtape: label MusikSet-01 is now loaded.
[amanda@s02 ~]$ amtape MusikSet slot 1
Insert tape into slot 1 and press return
amtape: changed to slot 1 on /dev/nst0
|---------------
Then i start amdump. Again it claimed for both tapes, but on different
slots...
|------------
[amanda@s02 ~]$ amdump MusikSet
Insert tape into slot 2 and press return
Insert tape into slot 3 and press return
|------------
Here the backup is starting (filling holding disk, wrote on the inserted
tape. This tape is by a fault of mine MusikSet-02, but this should not
matter...?
Then the first tape is full, it gets ejected and amdump says:
|----------
Insert tape into slot 4 and press return
|----------
Another slot? Ok, i put MusikSet-01 in streamer.
|---------
Insert tape into slot 5 and press return
Insert tape into slot 6 and press returnInsert tape into slot 6 and
press returnInsert tape into slot 6 and press return
|---------
And so one... It never use the next tape.
tapelist:
20070730080114 MusikSet-02 reuse
0 MusikSet-01 reuse
The logfile says nothing, only that on first tape is no more free space.
What's my mistake? Must i chnage the chg-manaul script. Something other?
That could not be the new feature since 2.5 that spanning one dump over
several tapes would be easier?
