Depending on how syslogd is configured, I think you might miss
that.  If that's the case, also check:

  % dmesg | grep tape

or

  % more /proc/scsi/scsi

The devices are usually /dev/st0,/dev/st1... or /dev/nst0,
/dev/nst1,... for non-rewinding access, which amanda likes.

That reminds me, the next time my wife asks about that user
"amanda" on all the nodes, frequently running jobs, you PLUG
members will back me up, right? ;-)
