Amanda cannot do it that way. Each night's backup run must go to it's
own tape.
You might achieve what you want if you have large enough holdingdisk.
Just don't put the tape into drive until enough backups have
accumulated on the holdingdisk, then flush the contents of holdingdisk
to a tape using 'amflush'. Of course there is a risk, then, that
something happens to the holdingdisk before you flush the data...
