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.
*) How to handle 2 STORAGE definitions with different numbers of tapes?
I have >30 LTO4 tapes for my storage "lto4", but only space for 10
vtapes in my storage "nas". As far as I see there is only one global
"tapecycle" parameter. Right now I set it to 10 and it even fails then.
The tapecycle is used to set the policy retention-days
Each storage can have a different policy and each policy can have a
different retention-days
*) I don't get the labelling fixed.
Amanda searches for "vm??" on the NAS, although it labels the slots
there with labels like "vm-001-008". Maybe somebody can help me to get
the label-parameters fixed.
tapepool is a set of volumes you want to share between storage (or even
config), they must be for the same hardware.
Some site have 2 config and they use slot 1-10 for the first config and
slot 11-20 for the second, now it is possible for both config to use
slot 1-20, and a tape with retention expired from config 1 can be reused
by config 2.
In your case, you should use different tapepool.
Change the tapepool for one storage (in config file and tapelist)
Reading the output can be confusing, because you don't know which output
line is for each storage (they are mixed), try to run them separately to
see if the output make more sense.
$ amcheck vm -t -ostorage=lt04
$ amcheck vm -t -ostorage=nas

example amcheck (no LTO tape inserted):
