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

Make sense?

It has always been like that.  Yes, I would like too less compiled
in defaults.  Patches welcome :-)


Use the option "-d" of amrecover.

Right, but what "tape device" should I specify?


In pre 2.5.0 you can use the "changer" if you specify a config
option "amrecover_changer" and use that string there.

Since 2.5.0 you may use the changer specified in tpchanger as
argument to the "-d" or the "settape" command too.
