Hi List,
is it possible to use amrecover with chg-multi in a tapeless
environment? I found nothing about it, but the amanda.conf option
'amrecover_changer' but I don't know which tapedev I have to use with
amrecover in order to make use of this option...

I'm in the same situation...and I just found on the faq-o-matic of
amanda this info!

http://amanda.sourceforge.net/fom-serve/cache/191.html

and you have to type when you use amrecover the following line:
settape host:file:/var2/amandadumps/tapeXX

I just tried it!...and it's working fine!
