Ok, thanks for the tip:
[root@ulysses ~]# su amandabackup -c '/usr/sbin/amtape Mensuel-LTO7 verify'
GOOD : Drive 0 is device tape:/dev/nst1
GOOD : Drive 1 is device tape:/dev/nst0
property "TAPE-DEVICE" "0=tape:/dev/nst1" "1=tape:/dev/nst0"
Best regards, Luc.

Luc,
The assignment of 'Data Transfer Element 0' to '/dev/nst1' and 'Data
Transfer Element 1' to '/dev/nst0' is done by the kernel.
You can use the 'amtape CONF verify' command to check if you correctly
configured amanda.
