I have a tape library (38) unit with one lto2 tape unit and one empty
tape slot.

I need to speed up our backups.

One option is to purchase a second tape unit but not sure how Amanda
works with a two tape drives. I searched the wiki for information but
did not get any hits. 

I am going to upgrade to the latest Amanda version so the version should
not be a problem.

Can Amanda use multiple tape drives for a backup? I want to put complete
backup files on a tape and not strip the tapes.

Thanks

Robert
