This seems to answer a nagging question that I've had. I want to store at least one "complete set" of tapes off-site as part of a disaster recovery plan. With my runspercycle set to 5 (and 1 tape per run), this seems to imply that any 5 consecutive tapes (without errors, of course) constitute a "complete" set of backups. Is that correct?
