Agreed if you are increasing the tapecycle. Amanda refuses to use any old tapes until at least tapecycle number of tapes are in use. But ahall, the OP, was changing tape types, ait-1 to ait-2 if I recall. Thus the new tapes were not for an increased tapecycle. They were simply unused and labeled with the same label as the previous tapes. -- Jon H.
