I don't seem to understand how to tell Amanda when to overwrite tapes. What 
I try to do is make regular backups from monday till thursday (I make a 
full dump every friday) and recycle those tapes after 2 weeks. So, I use 4 
tapes every week and one cycle takes 2 weeks, which means I use 8 tapes per 
cycle. I configured 2 spare tapes just in case. This is the relevant part 
in my amanda.conf:

dumpcycle       2 weeks
runspercycle    8 days
tapecycle       10 tapes

But if I feed Amanda the first tape again, after two weeks, it complains 
that it cannot overwrite an active tape. What do I do wrong?
