autoloaders and vdump

Hi Managers,

Is it possible to use vdump with an autoloader tape backup device? I
see there are options for not ejecting the tape or rewinding the tape
after a dump operation so I am guessing that it is possible. Can
anyone tell me if they are using vdump on with an autoloader and
what arguments I should look at? I guess a tape listing after each
backup would also be necessary to determine what data is on what
tape?

FYI: I haven't the budget for any third-party backup software.

Thanx.
Dp.
