OK..:).  Please forgive if I have used incorrect terminology, so I ask
again for my own clarification.  Will amanda ever be able to write to
the same tape a few days in a row, without having to spool to a holding
disk?

Say I have an AIT-2 50/100G tape, yet I only am using 20G of data.  I
could fit a full, plus a weeks worth of inc's on a single tape.

If this is your design decision, mind if I ask why?  Are there dangers
in this type of theory?  Just curious.

Thanks again!

Drew
