I have indeed a tapecycle  4 configuration
Is there a way to make sevral backup a day but still have the same
behaviour as if those backups were made one per day? (without playing
wit the date of the computer)

I took a look at the mail I received, but it didn't mention anything
wrong. See below for the whole mail.

Thanks for the help.

Raph

These dumps were to tape HISS3.
The next tape Amanda expects to use is: HISS0.
