Right now backups on the new version work fine. The backup runs, files are created on the "virtual tapes" (writing backups to disk), mail is sent, etc. The problem comes when I try to recover a file and it appears to be an issue with the tape changer. On the client I see: Continue [?/Y/n/s/d]?

How many of these virtual tapes do you allow it to use per run? That is "runtapes" in the amanda.conf. I am a home usr, using a commodity 1 terrabyte drive for the vtapes, and my tapetype is set for about 30Gb. I am backing up this machine, and pieces of the one out in the shop that runs my cnc milling machine, on a 5 day cycle, so each days runs vary from 12Gb to 25Gb. 500 megs I outgrew by 1998. ;-)
This is just a test and I'm backing up /boot on a single system. Since this is currently a test I didn't want to wait too long for a backup to complete. My production backups are generally 400-500GB per night.
