Could you point us to the spot where this is explained in the docs?
I suppose there is some reason to make this function with ANY string.
From "man amanda":
amrecover_changer "string"
Default: ’’. Amrecover will use the changer if you use ’settape
<STRING>’ and that string is the same as the amrecover_changer
setting.
From "man amrecover":
settape [[server]:][tapedev|default]
[...]
If you want amrecover to use your changer, the tapedev must be
equal to the amrecover_changer setting on the server.
The "string" is just a name for your changer. Something different
than /dev/rmt0. A changer can also be of type chg-multi, grouping
a few physical drives together, or chg-disk without any tapedrive
involved. With this string you name the group.
And you can get silly and name your newborn son "Sue" and your
changer device "/dev/null".
