She does in the moment a tape (= slot) is re-used.
Remember that amanda was initially designed to work with tapes and that
using disks as backup media has been implemented by emulating a
classical tape library. With real tapes it would be an extremely costly
operation to fetch and (partially) overwrite all older backups of a DLE
once a level 0 has been written. Sure, if amanda knew she was operating
on disks rather than on tapes she could do so easily. But what would be
the benefit?
