Then I assume you're not going to be using incrementals but doing a full
dump of everything every day, right? Because this won't work if there are
incrementals. You'll end up clobbering something you need for a restore.
In the extreme case, your boss wants to be able to use the same tape
every day. To do that with Amanda, set dumpcycle to 0 and tapecycle
to 1. You may have more tapes listed in tapelist (via amlabel) and,
as I understand it, Amanda will accept any of them.
