I refuse to immediately reuse a tape after it's been amrmtaped because
one of my other fellow system administrators amrmtaped a real tape
forcibly and caused me to have a minor panic because for at least 5 days
it was a case of "if the system goes down, it's a manual, down to your
bones, dd/tar/restore job" :-(

I say, even if you do amrmtape a tape, leave it alone for at least one
day before you reuse it. At least then you have time to realise you
shouldn't have...call me paranoid, but when data is money...
