I've never been quite able to figure out what value to use for tapecycle.
I expect to run backups on first 4 days of week, so I've set
runspercycle 4
Tapes are labelled
Mon-1
Tue-1
...
Mon-2
...
...
Thu-4
After the fourth "weekly set", the first one is reused, then the 2nd and
3rd. Set 4 is special, however - I don't want to reuse those tapes, but
rather store them in a safe place and replace them with new ones. So after
sets 1-4 are written, then sets 1-3 once more, I want to be able to do
amlabel ... Mon-4
amlabel ... Tue-4
without being told that those tapes are already active. What exactly do I
set "tapecycle" to in order to allow this?
