Problem with rait - dump into vtapes and real tape simultaneously

[mambra]

Hi,

I,ve been using amanda 3.3.7 for the last few months. Initially my amanda config worked fine independently for real tape and virtual tape. however i was trying to merge both real tape and virtual tape to run simultaneously as I,ve seen that chg-rait was one of the method to do so. I have diffilculty to find good example on how to put the right config on my amanda.conf for that purpose. my amdump command threw an error like below

** really appreciate any helps or suggestion on this. I really need to make sure this happen as this would be my major task for disaster recovery implementation.
