You not neceserely recover from your amanda tape host. You can restore
from any tape drive connected to any host (amidxtaped must be configured).

The changer will be used if:
  1- your config exist on the tape server host
  2- that config have a changer configured
  3- amrecover_changer is set in the config
  4- the tape drive is the same as amrecover_changer.

amrecover_changer should be set to a tape device.

The default tape driver from amrecover is set at configuration time.
