And it works with auto-loaders and even some tape libraries. I've used Amanda 
with simple auto-loader before without a problem. You eject the current tape 
and the loader automatically puts the next one it. When the stack is done 
some loaders will put the first one back in some require user intervention.

If you can afford it a smart loader that knows which slot is currently in the 
drive is much better and Amanda works well with those.
