multi-volume backups with SAM?

I am trying to use SAMs built in backup function to manage my backups. I am using an hp 40x6 autoloader on /dev/rmt/1m. What I don't know is how do I get it to change tapes automatically for multi-volume backups?

If SAM backup is a combination of ftape and dump, then is it possible to pass the -c config option to it? Since ftape supports multi-volume shouldn't SAM backup?

Found it! SAM uses the fbackup_config file just like fbackup does, but keeps it in /etc/sam/br instead of /var/adm/fbackupfiles. man fbackup(1m) contains a sample configuration that allows a script to be specified for voume change (and fatal errors too).
