OK, so I have 20 tapes that amanda has backed up to(DailySet[100-119]).
I changed my amanda.conf to dumpcycle=0 and when I run "amadmin <set>
tape" it says then next tape should be a new one. All the tapes in
tapelist have backup dates and are marked "reuse".

Is there something else I need to do to get amanda to start rotating,
IOW asking for tape 100?

Thanks,
Keith
