And risk having a bus reset rewind the tape and getting a week's worth
of backups overwritten? No way!

I'd hope so, but you may have to position the tape manually for
amrestore (as called by amrecover) to find the right image in the
tape. But I've never tried anything like that (restoring from a
multi-run flush tape with amrecover, not positioning the tape :-)
