As far as I don't know how amanda will react if I put a virgin TestConf03 (a
relabelled one), I mean: I don't know if amanda append to the tape for backups
or if it start from the beginning of the tape.
If amanda appends to the tape then it will fail looking for previous data on
TestConf03 (since it was erased). So I choosed to remove TestConf03 from the
cycle and label it Testconf14.
Last night dump to TestConf14 were ok.
