If you are ready to deploy. In this case the other tape drive was on
order, so I made the changes in a copied config file.

Thanks. I found it now. Now the follow on question is: is there a way to
tell amanda to rerun the backup that it just ran just in case it doesn't
work? Or is it as simple as running the backup command again? I assume
that it changes the states of the backups each time to prevent the full
backup of everything in the disklist. If the state information has been
updated, is there a way to rerun exactly what was run before?

Thanks,
Vicki
