Does anyone use more than 1 tape on a single tape drive 
without a changer for dumping data?

I can't make it work, it doesn't ask me to instert the second tape!!??

These are some of the definition of the configuration filethat I use for my 
testing.

dumpcycle 0 days        # the number of days in the normal dump cycle
runspercycle 1 # the number of amdump runs in dumpcycle days
tapecycle 2 tapes       # the number of tapes in rotation


runtapes 2              # number of tapes to be used in a single run of amdump
tpchanger "chg-manual"  # the tape-changer glue script
tapedev "/dev/nst0l"    # the no-rewind tape device to be used
#rawtapedev "/dev/null" # the raw device to be used (ftape only)
changerfile "/var/lib/amanda/DailySet1/changer"
#changerfile "/var/lib/amanda/DailySet1/changer-status"
#changerfile "/etc/amanda/DailySet1/changer.conf"
#changerdev "/dev/null"

tapetype STD-5000               # what kind of tape it is (see tapetypes 
below)
labelstr "^Daily[0-9][0-9]*$"   # label constraint regex: all tapes must match

infofile "/var/lib/amanda/DailySet1/curinfo"    # database filename
logdir   "/var/lib/amanda/DailySet1"            # log directory
indexdir "/var/lib/amanda/DailySet1/index"      # index directory


ERROR: I get the following email from AMANDA

These dumps were to tape Daily01.
The next 2 tapes Amanda expects to used are: Daily02, Daily01.
