However, I've noticed that every time Amanda doesn't find a writeable
tape (usually due to the tape not being changed that day) there is very

small. The day after this, the

I run an archive once a month and would like to mark tapes that have been
used by the archive as no-reuse. I have to do this manually now.
Is there a way that this can be done automatically with an amanda
configuration parameter? I have looked for something like this and have not
seen anything

Read up on the 'reserve' parameter in amanda.conf, its default value, and
its effects on degraded mode dumps.
Thanks for the responses... I did a search on the reserve keyword and read
up on it, and I'm pretty sure this is what I was missing. I didn't have
any reserve set, so it was defaulting to 100%. I changed that to 30%. My
holding disk is ~65GB and i'm using 20/40GB travan tapes so I think

I'd expect the amandatape script to be confused by multiple dumps per
