Well, maybe.  The ability to do that depends on the hardware and
firmware on the tape drives; the capabilities of the operating
system's drivers (often far from state of the art); and other
arcana such as the phase of the moon.

I'm not fond of amanda, either, but for a far more complex set
of reasons than this particular issue which is beyond the reach
of software fixes unless you have the right combination of stuff
for it to play with.

Cheers, Greg
