I know about the 2 parameters

but how to make sure that *all* the planned dumps are done before
writing to tape?
Some kind of "taper-wait" ...
Or just by trial-and-error with the 2 mentioned parameters?
You can do this by figuring out the upper limit of how much space all
your backups will need, figuring out what percentage of your tape size
that translates to, and then setting both of the flush-threshold values
to that percentage, taperflush to 0 (to flush everything), and autoflush
to 'yes' (so that it actually flushes the data).
However, keep in mind that for this to work, your holding disk has to be
able to hold all of your dumps for a single run simultaneously.
