Under normal conditions should amanda try to fill each tape? I want amanda to dump whatever it can up until the limit set by tapesize. I am keeping 30 tapes on disk, and burning the oldest slot to DVD daily, and re-labeling it (so it shows as a new tape). I just don't want to waste any space on

Vicki: I have in the past needed to reuse a tape that had the backups fail for some reason or another and just reset the date code in /var/spool/amanda/config/tapelist to 0 instead of say, 20050318 DailySet101. So long as the date isn't set, AMANDA will think it's a new tape regardless of what
