Force new tape?

2003-03-11 Thread John Oliver
Is there a way to make amanda use a tape other than what it's expecting? I have 15 tapes labelled 1 through 15. Last nights' backup failed because it was expecting tape number 15, but tape number one was in the drive. I'd like to be able to flush that backup to tape number one. -- John Oliver,
