I've got runtapes 1.  It just means "use only 1 tape per amdump run".
This "includes" flushes.

If all your stuff fits on one tape everytime amdump/amflush/autoflush
runs for that config, by whatever mechanism (e.g. with or without
compression, fulls vs. incrementals, etc.), then you're good to go.  If
not, you need an alternative approach: excludes in the DLEs, someone
manually flipping tapes when asked to do so by amanda (does this
actually work?), deleting user data :), etc.
