The 3 configs share a common amanda.conf with only the following exceptions:

>From the disk_only config

includefile "/opt/amanda/etc/amanda.conf.main"
tpchanger "chg-multi"
changerfile "/opt/amanda/etc/disk_only/chg-multi.conf"
tapetype HARD-DISK

>From the "main" config

includefile "/opt/amanda/etc/amanda.conf.main"
tpchanger "chg-multi"
changerfile "/opt/amanda/etc/DailyDump/chg-multi.conf"
tapetype RAIT

The chg-multi.conf's are alaike except for lines that look lik:

for the disk_only config:

slot 1 file:/vtapes/DailyDump/vtape1
slot 2 file:/vtapes/DailyDump/vtape2
.
.
slot 24 file:/vtapes/DailyDump/vtape24
slot 25 file:/vtapes/DailyDump/vtape25

For the "main" config:

slot 1 rait:{file:/vtapes/DailyDump/vtape1,tape:/dev/nst0}
slot 2 rait:{file:/vtapes/DailyDump/vtape2,tape:/dev/nst0}
.
.
slot 24 rait:{file:/vtapes/DailyDump/vtape24,tape:/dev/nst0}
slot 25 rait:{file:/vtapes/DailyDump/vtape25,tape:/dev/nst0}

But when I run amecover disk_only, it defaults to the compiled in 
/dev/nst0

Make sense?
