ahh, there's the rub :) you probably have tapecycle set to "N" but because of the "no-reuse" you only really have "N-1" tapes in rotation. But you told amanda with the tapecycle setting not to overwrite ANY tape until "N" tapes were used. Thus you need to add a new tape into the rotation or reduce the value of tapecycle. -- Jon H.
