That doc is a bit dated... There is also in amanda.conf:
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.
So, in plain english, this means: invent a string (I use "changer")
that you give a to amrecover when it asks for the tapedev, and the
server (which does have access to the config file!) will interpret
it to use the changer that is configured in amanda.conf, instead of
a simple tapedev.
