Leave tapecycle at its current setting (5?), at least temporarily. Label tape 6 and then remove it from the library. Amanda will use either any new tape it finds or a valid tape such as tape 5. By valid I mean previously used, but no more recently than "tapecycle" number of dumps ago. After the next dump, put tape 6 back in. > Yeah, that command works for me.

Some linuxes have a command or file ?stinit? to define the default. And on some you can setup additional tapedevices that are with and without compression. -- Jon H.
