I said 16 tapes because I know it's better to have at least one more
tape (5x3+1). In this way I don't overwrite a valid copy and have valid
backups for 3 weeks.
Thanks,

I've modified the amanda.conf in the following way for my backup
scenario (I want to backup only weekdays, I have 16 Tapes).

dumpcycle 7 days
runspercycle 5 days #only weekdays. I run amdump only Mo-Fr
...

I will label my tapes daily01-16.
My Dell PowerVault 122T has an auto-changer with 8 slots for 8
tapes, so I need to change only once in the 3 weeks period.
16 is not a multiple of 3*5 days.
When you start on a monday, the first time you need to insert
new tapes is after 8 runs, that is on thursday of the next week,
and then again 8 runs later, i.e. monday two weeks later.
Then again on thursday
Wouldn't it be easier to use 15 tapes (8+7) and change once
on monday, once on wednesday/thursday, and keep 1 spare tape.
Or fill it with only 5 tapes instead of 8, and change each monday
(or friday).
