Good point...

But I think if you use amrmtape you are effectively saying that the tape is
no longer in use therefore you wouldn't use amrmtape if you intend reusing
the tape(s). So amrmtape behaviour shouldn't change from what it does now.
Not sure why you would want to amrmtape 'just one'...

If amrmtape removes indexes and you didn't want to remove the indexes for
some reason then should there be an option to exclude this process?

Keith.
