When I go to run amdump I just point "data" to the next tape in line.
$ln -s 06 data
$amdump DailySet1
I have recently seen some docs where the data directory is actually
created within the tape.
/backups/01/data
Which of these methods are best for a tapeless backup setup?

I can do a tapeless backup but only one revision. New backup overwrites the
