to backup some client systems I use an Amanda config containing

        dumpcycle 0 days
        tapecycle 4 tapes

which I run manually from time to time. The config uses the file driver
(in case this matters).

Because on some clients lots of files were moved during the last amdump
run, I'd like to repeat it - but I'd like it to overwrite the tape
which was used in the "failed" run. How can I achieve this? Simply
running amdump again uses the next tape...

amrmtape $CONFIG $TAPEYOUWANTTORERUN
amlabel $CONFIG $TAPEYOUWANTTORERUN
amdump $CONFIG
