backup to Iomega REV

[Tom Simons]

My original post Can Amanda use an Iomega REV drive as a tape?   was
answered affirmatively (thanks to all who responded!), but I'm still
unsure of how to proceed.  I have 2 servers:

  Amanda:  36gb-raid-1 (mirrored) -- RedHat AS 3.0 opsys, Amanda 2.4.4p4 
 72gb-raid-1 (mirrored) -- CVS repository, some user apps  data
 33gb Iomega REV rdd

   other:  36gb-raid-1 (mirrored) -- RedHat AS 3.0 opsys
 72gb-raid-1 (mirrored) -- most user apps  data

I'd like daily backups, so users could restore files/directories from
a few days past.  I'd like Amanda to use the Iomega REV cartridge as a
single tape, maybe filling it up slowly every day  sending me an
e-mail when it's full so I can load a new cartridge, or maybe making
full backups weekly. The full backup will eventually exceed 33 gb
(although Iomega claims 90gb using their Windows compression).  I'd
also like to keep the previous month's (or thereabout) full backup
cartridges off site.  This is roughly what we now have on our old
server, with NetBackup making 7 daily incremental bkps  5 full weekly
bkps.

How do I  translate this to Amanda configurations?  Do I need to use
work disks at all?  Why would the REV cartridge have to be split into
multiple vtapes?

Can Amanda use an Iomega REV drive as a tape?

Can/should Amanda use an Iomeg REV drive as an output tape?  

We've got 2 servers both running RedHat AS 3.0, with 35gb  70gb hard
drives on each, and we're intersted in running Amanda on one of the
servers to back up both ( more servers to follow).  The backup
server has a 35gb Iomega REV drive, which RedHat sees as /cdrom2.

Has anyone used a REV drive with Amanda?
