Remote tape server?

[Jonathan D. Proulx]

Hi,

is it possible to use a remote tape server with Amanda?  If so how,
can't seem to find anything in TFM.

The tape server is working using ufsdump on Solaris boxen and dump on
GNU/Linux systems, but amanda doesn't like specifying the device as
remote (tapedev "netapp:urst1a")

the reason I want to do this is my tape device (an Overland AIT
Library Pro) is attached to a NetApp filer which has about half our
backed-up storage and I'd rather not try pushing 500G to tape over
NFS. 

Thanks,
-Jon
