First, we have to assume that you've become the user 'amanda' and 
that you've used the error catchers in amcheck to makes ure the 
configration is correct.

In the user amanda's crontab, a couple of lines need to be added
------------------------------
15 11 * * *     /usr/local/sbin/amcheck -m DailySet1
# adjust the above 11:15am times to suit your operation
15 00 * * *     /usr/local/sbin/amdump DailySet1
# ditto for this midnight+15 minutes setting.
------------------------------
The -m in the first line will make amanda email you prompting for 
the right tape if it is not already in the drive or robot magazine.

This will run amcheck and amdump everyday.

Is this what you wanted?
