All these 5 tapes are new (dumpcycle=7, tapecycle=15). I have "first
labelstr match", "labelstr match", "active tape" and "exact label
match".
I think amanda would take every tape which is NOT labeled "active
tape"...? That would mean, that amdump would work, even if daily05
would not be available tonight?

Which tape would amanda use if she could choose (changer) between
daily06 - daily10? Does that depend on the order of the tapelist (I
think so)?

What is a new tape? Is daily06 a new tape (take a look at my tapelist
above)?

0 problems? How would amanda solve the problem of not having a tape?
