starting to test that as well, I thought I'd share my results ;-)

I have a host with a tape drive and want to add a 2nd storage with
vtapes on a NAS (mounted via NFS).

So I added a 2nd storage definition

DEFINE STORAGE vm {
      COMMENT             "implicit from global config"
      POLICY              "vm"
      TAPEDEV             "tape:/dev/nst0"
      TPCHANGER           ""
      LABELSTR            "^vm[0-9][0-9]*$"
      AUTOLABEL           "" VOLUME-ERROR EMPTY
      META-AUTOLABEL      ""
      TAPEPOOL            "vm"
      RUNTAPES            1
      TAPERSCAN           ""
      TAPETYPE            "LTO4-amtapetype"
      MAX-DLE-BY-VOLUME   1000000000
      TAPERALGO           LARGESTFIT
      TAPER-PARALLEL-WRITE 1
      EJECT-VOLUME        no
      ERASE-VOLUME        no
      DEVICE-OUTPUT-BUFFER-SIZE 4194304
      AUTOFLUSH           all
      FLUSH-THRESHOLD-DUMPED 30
      FLUSH-THRESHOLD-SCHEDULED 40
      TAPERFLUSH          5
      REPORT-USE-MEDIA    yes
      REPORT-NEXT-MEDIA   yes
      INTERACTIVITY       ""
      SET-NO-REUSE        no
      ERASE-ON-FAILURE    no
      ERASE-ON-FULL       no
}

DEFINE STORAGE nas {
      COMMENT             ""
      POLICY              "vm"
      TAPEDEV             "tape:/dev/nst0"
      TPCHANGER           "nas1"
      LABELSTR            "^vm[0-9][0-9]*$"
      AUTOLABEL           "$m-$3s" OTHER-CONFIG NON-AMANDA VOLUME-ERROR
EMPTY
      META-AUTOLABEL      "$c-%%%"
      TAPEPOOL            "vm"
      RUNTAPES            1
      TAPERSCAN           ""
      TAPETYPE            "HARD-DISK"
      MAX-DLE-BY-VOLUME   1000000000
      TAPERALGO           LARGESTFIT
      TAPER-PARALLEL-WRITE 1
      EJECT-VOLUME        no
      ERASE-VOLUME        no
      DEVICE-OUTPUT-BUFFER-SIZE 4194304
      AUTOFLUSH           all
      FLUSH-THRESHOLD-DUMPED 30
      FLUSH-THRESHOLD-SCHEDULED 40
      TAPERFLUSH          5
      REPORT-USE-MEDIA    yes
      REPORT-NEXT-MEDIA   yes
      INTERACTIVITY       ""
      SET-NO-REUSE        no
      ERASE-ON-FAILURE    no
      ERASE-ON-FULL       no
}

Please note that most of the above settings are just derived from the
defaults etc -> not yet tuned in any way!

- minor issue I had to figure out:

manpage says:

> storage string

    Default: Same as the config name. The list of storages to use, the
dump will go to theses storages.

how to write that list?

I tried:

storage "vm nas"

and

storage "vm,nas"

aaah, it has to be:

storage vm nas

-

As far as I understand so far now all the dumps should go to both the
tapes and the vtapes.

As soon as that works and looks good I will try to make up a more
specific setup with defining "dump-selection" for the 2 storages.
