Yes, it's easier using the days= than having to do specific tapes
one at a time. You got the idea, after a while you will know about
what days value to start with.
The other way is to not use the days on the move media and just
cancel the process when you have enough tapes out. Using the days
parameter helps reduce tape requests as you take out tapes that
haven't been accessed recently first.

so you would actually do a * and not specific tapes? I did 7 and there is
50 tapes at this time. I went all the way to 28 and got 11. I guess I have
to determine on my own what is best.
thanks
