amlabel -f DailySet1 anylabel

Put this in your crontab so that it gets executed just a few minutes before the amdump command.

That's a bad and dangerous idea.  If you leave a tape in that has
nothing to do with amanda backups (like a customers files, like your
special backup with your nobel prize project), it gets blindly
overwritten.  "That doesn't happen", is just in invitation for disaster.
(Why do you make backups anyway?)

number of tapes in the cycle that you feed amanda is unimportant, as
long as it is larger than the tapecycle you specified in the config.
