That is default in chg-manual ;-)
I changed it to firstslot=1, lastslot=1.

Hm, but i don't want rotation for this backup..
Ok, i label 4 tapes.

Each time i tried an run i cleared all of the files from last run,
starting with a fresh amcheck/amdump.
amcheck with above config says: ok, MusikSet-01 is in streamer.
I started amdump, waited for hours (this streamer and tape is sooo
slow). Now the first tape is full, and:
amdump stops!

Why does amanda not simply (as it with my 99 "slots" do) eject the tape
and ask me putting the next in "slot"?
tapelist at this moment looks like:
|------------
20070730165052 MusikSet-01 reuse
0 MusikSet-02 reuse
0 MusikSet-03 reuse
0 MusikSet-04 reuse
|------------
No sorry, i think amanda isn't the right for me and my equipement.
If simply using more than one tape on a single dump/run is so
complicated (for me as the backup user/operator) then a restore leads me
surely in situations that i couldn't handle.
Amanda is surely a big tool for "big Backup/Restore", but i think my
life is easier with tar ;-)
Thank you both for your help!
Bye
