Hi all

amanda keeps using only one tape per day but always delays full dump for
the same disk 
(/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0    8758612 6866287 1804739    80%    /ora) 

Why cant it use a second tape?

There are 6 Tapes in the changer;
dumpcycle 1 weeks
runspercycle 5
tapecycle 6 tapes
runtapes 3

tapetype SURESTORE-1200E

define tapetype SURESTORE-1200E {
    comment "HP AutoLoader"
    length 3900 mbytes
    filemark 100 kbytes
    speed 500 kbytes
}
What's wrong whith it?

Cheers
Urs
