Hi.

I have the following settings.

dumpcycle 3 days 
runspercycle 3 days
tapecycle 8 tapes

runtapes 1
tapedev "/dev/nst0"

>>From the backup report that is sent to me every day everything seems to
be fine. However, there is one thing that bugs me. The report begins
like this

These dumps were to tape Daily006.
The next tape Amanda expects to use is: a new tape.

However, I would like AMANDA to only accept the immediate subsequent
tape (in this case tape Daily007). In this at all possible? If so what
am I doing wrong. I messed around with the chg-manual script for a while
but without any luck.

Any help would be appreciated.
