Hi,

I am wondering if it is possible to safely skip a tape that happens
to be unavailable (it was moved offsite but hasn't returned).

I've looked at the $AMANDA/tapelist file and am tempted to edit,
but am hesitating because I don't actually understand how Amanda
uses the information.

In particular, does the line position matter? The tape that Amanda
wants is the last tape in tapelist, and it also has the earliest
last-use date (the first field). If I wanted Amanda to just move
to the next tape, should I just edit the date field?
Move the line to the top of the file? Both?

tia,
d
