If the holding disk is large enough and if the reserve option is set to allow fulls to disk, if the correct tape is not in the drive all the backups will go to disk, which you can amflush later to tape. You might want to search the list archives for holding disk, as it does have some detractors on the list (due to things like a disk failure on the holding disk wiping out your backups). If you are going to always amflush the next day, it is low risk, but if you are thinking of leaving a week's worth of backups on disk before you flush in order to fill up a tape, then the risk is much greater.
