So, 

Here's my backup report after a backup.

Is this saying I have most of my DLT tape left
and I cannot append to the tape because it is an
active tape?

So, I can't utilize the remaining 68% tape unused???

just checking

These dumps were to tape DailySet-nst1_08.
The next 5 tapes Amanda expects to used are: a new tape, a new tape, a new
tape, a new tape, a new tape.
