Autoloader: Amanda configuration

Hello everybody,

This is the first time I try to install amanda by myself. Beside I'musing and autoloader. Before I used amanda with a simple tape for SDLT.I have followed the manual in order to configure the backup system.Howerver, there are still a point I don't understand quite well. That is:.- Since I'm using an autoloader, I could use more than 1 tape for eachbackup and I shouldn't need to change the first tape for the secondmanually. But I don't know how to configure that with amanda. I guess ithas to do with the variable tpchanger in the amanda.conf file, but Idon't know how to use it... I saw different scripts I could use, butwith just a small explication. If any of you could help to chose thebest option I would appreciate it, or even if I could get moreinformation about them

I don't know if you really need this, but it could be helpful accordingto the manual:

This is the result from " amtapetype -e 400GB -f /dev/st0 -t LTO3 -o"
I got this:
define tapetype LTO3 {
   comment "just produced by tapetype prog (hardware compression on)"
   length 386048 mbytes
   filemark 0 kbytes
   speed 67787 kps
}

Best Regards
