Hmm, that's weird. My tapecycle specifies 25 tapes.
What I'm trying to do is to bring over the old server's
index/log/tapelist/disklist files etc to the config on the new server,
to test that I can do restores from tapes written by the old

I'm still not 100% sure on how to perform restores if a disklist entry

Would I need to use amrestore instead of amrecover, and then manually
untar all the
amrestore?
Don't know if my question makes good sense...but thanks anyway for bearing with
me.

If you give amrecover a specific tape drive to use, then it will
prompt you to manually insert the correct tapes.
If you configure chg-multi with only one tape device, though, then it
will not prompt you -- it will just inform amrecover that it can't
find the requested volume.
So I'd recommend

Sweet. That's a nice setup, Paul.
I originally pictured having a separate archive
- will double-check it all again.
Thanks!

Is there anyone who is actually using chg-manual for their Amanda setup,
who would be willing to give me an example of their config files, such

Can't help with chg-manual, but...
I avoid the use

Dear all,
I've now installed the newest version of Amanda, and have completed a
full backup to test tape spanning. However, as soon as Amanda ran out
of space on the first tape, it failed.

You'll need to have more than one slot if you want to use multiple tapes.
Just increase 'lastslot' to 2 (or even to the total number of tapes you
possess), and

This sounds similar to the problem that I was having...it turned out to be an
error in my understanding of the config. Here is the link to the post on the
