It's not up to amanda. Check your platform's own list of supported scsi tapes
and go from there. Amanda will use either gnu tar, samba, or your platform's
native dump utility. It's those items which have to talk to your tape.
Robots are a slightly different story. Amanda comes with a number of scripts
you can adapt for use with your particular robot. As long as you can
get a robot control script going, you're all set.
