I am not sure what you call the current tape, amanda is a sort of batch processing, you order a job, it uses one tape for that job, and then the next job goes on the next tape. The case that often happens to me: Monday amanda dumps on tape 1 Tuesday is holiday, dumps to holding disk Wednesday is holiday, dumps to holding disk Thursday first thing, I amflush, it writes onto the tape number 2 the dumps of Tuesday and Wednesday Later on Tuesday i do a normal amanda dump that use tape 3 And in fact I don't really care what tape is being used, if I need to recover something amanda will look through the index and telll me what tape I need.
