Thanks for the Fast reply you rock!
Is this the only way to do it you think? I was hoping I could use the tapes
and just append to the last backup taken (somehow??). I would prefer not to
use the holding disk if possible.
If I did backup five days to the holding disk and then flushed the data to a
tape, would I be able to use amrecover to restore data from any of the last
5 days? Would I have to do anything special to recover?
Thanks again for the help.

Maybe you want to dump during five days to the holding disk (check for
the reserve parameter) and flush them altogether to a single tape.
