And create a new file named "chg-multi.conf" in the same directory

 lastslot 2
 slot 1  /dev/nst0              # changeme
 slot 2  /dev/nst1              # changeme

and fill in appropriate values for your environment in the lines
marked with "changeme"

Can the two devices be different format tapes?

No, unfortunately, because there is only one "tapetype", used for
both of the devices.
Of course you can use the lowest of the two capacities, or maybe
the mean (Amanda will write to a tape until it hits the physical
end of tape).
