Hi I'm doing backups every day with amanda and everything works great. But I'd like to have some experience in restoring files in case a day of distaster comes my way. I have 5 tapes for every workingday and these backup all the important files. Now, I'm not that crazy to use these files for experimentation so I have an extra tape. I'd let amanda backup some testfiles on my workstation, and I'd try some restore/recover stuff on my workstation.
My question is this: how would I add the tape to the list, so I can use if freely when I want, AND (more important) NOT disturb the tapecycle I have now. Come to think of it, it doesn't need to be in the tapecycle, because I only want to use it when I want to. Any ideas?
