E.g. I use daily-1 for a backup run, and the backup fails for some reason

daily-2 or a new tape for the next run. I run amflush, and amanda wants a
tape. Is it alright to use daily-2, or is it better to use a new tape?
Either is fine. If you're going to use an existing tape, daily-2 is what
amanda will want. At any time it's always acceptable to use a new tape.
If you use a new tape amanda will add it to the normal rotation at this
point. What you choose to do is up to local policy.
