Regardless of the autoloader..you still must specify number of tapes per a backup...if the config resticts you to use 1 tape then so be it......I believe that if you specify two tapes in your config file and it only takes up one (depending if you are using hardware compression ) then the next tape would be loaded at he next invocation of a backup.
