Humm, that is a question.
If you had enough spool area AND didn't mind leaving all of your backups
on disk (risky but no worse than using a tape drive as the output device)
you _could_ fail to mount the tape and run amflush once/week.
Couldn't you ?
Still, I don't see having a single output tape, you'd have little or
no fallback if something happened, spool disk failure, tape failure,
drive problems...
Dave - not a config I'd recommend.
