That why in amanda 2.4.4 some new parameters in amanda.conf are available:
amrecover_do_fsf bool
Default: off. Amrecover will call amrestore with the ‐f flag
for faster positioning of the tape.
amrecover_check_label bool
Default: off. Amrecover will call amrestore with the ‐l flag
to check the label.
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.(amrestore 2.4.4 has implemented those new flags -f and -l too)
