Did my message not get through to you?

You run multiple configs, in parallel, if desired (and capable).

Eg. /etc/amanda/DailySet1/* and /etc/amanda/DailySet2/*

Each share the same changer device (presumably your library has a SCSI
conected changer), but you split the tape rack(s) between them and of
course specify a unique tape drive device in each.  Obviously you need
different holding disks and other such common stuff too.
