OK, so I have 20 tapes that amanda has backed up to(DailySet[100-119]). I changed my amanda.conf to dumpcycle=0 and when I run "amadmin <set> tape" it says then next tape should be a new one. All the tapes in tapelist have backup dates and are marked "reuse". Is there something else I need to do to get amanda to start rotating, IOW asking for tape 100? Thanks, Keith
