>Is the tapecycle variable in amanda.conf used for anything? ...
Yes. Amanda will ask for new tapes until tapelist has tapecycle "reuse"
entries in it.
>What happens if
>tapecycle != `cat tapelist | wc -l`?
If tapecycle is less than the number of tapes marked "reuse" in tapelist,
Amanda will ask for new tapes. If it is greater, Amanda will use any tape
marked "reuse" beyond the most recent "tapecycle" ones (that last tidbit
compliments of Jean-Louis Martineau in this list just a few days ago).
