I am sorry for my ignorance on this, but I am curious of Amanda. I have a
Tape Backup Unit which is a SCSI "Python 03812-XXX" de Sun Microsystems.
Till now I make manual backup of 4 servers on that single tape wich is
atached to a PC - FreeBSD System. The question is, can I make backups on
that single Tape of all the 4 servers? Can Amanda make  tasks queues?
I am giving a look to the web page of that project and I see it works on
systems with more than one single tape.

Well, may be what I am asking makes not sense ... I am sorry.
