Such is the magic of amrecover. So long as your dumps are indexed, you

The best way to handle this would be to relabel all of your tapes and ditch
the hard connection between tapes and days, which is just going to keep
getting in your way. Just number them sequentially.
That said, if you're really stuck on your current arrangement, you can use
the 'no-reuse' option
Can anyone tell me what this means?

Everything was wired up the way it was, and everything is working, except

There's nothing in your `mt status` that says what tape drive it's talking

Right. With the 2.4.3 code you can stripe accross drives, set your

which will do a RAID-4 stripe of the two tape drives and write the
parity blocks to the null tape device. This should give you roughly
