Sure.

Thanks for describing your more basic setup.

Things I am not sure of:

* taperscan: back then JLM told me to use "lexical" because otherwise it 
didn't work (years ago, I think it was related to this "chg-aggregate 
combines multiple chg-disk changers")

* labels: autolabel, metalabel ... maybe I have that wrong

* and why did it break? It worked ok in these 2 sites for years. Both 
Debian, so maybe some perl-library changed or something like that?

So I am basically relabeling a tape or two every day on these 2 amanda 
servers to keep the backups working.
