The admin guide has some info on configuring the AFS backup system:
http://docs.openafs.org/AdminGuide/ch06.html

On Linux (and maybe other unix flavors),  you should be able to use use 
the "mtx" command
to switch  tapes in the tape changer.

For command reference, refer to :
http://docs.openafs.org/Reference/8/backup.html
http://docs.openafs.org/Reference/8/buserver.html
http://docs.openafs.org/Reference/8/butc.html
