Ok, that's 32 tapes only.


First amlabel the missing ones  (22, 24, 26).

Amanda needs a "new" tape, i.e. one with date "0" in the list, or one
with a label that is not at all in the list.

You said you tried tried to feed it DailyDLT-01 to ...-07, but those
are indeed still "active".

Tapelist is out of whack since I've been having to amrmtape the tapes
and relabel them to get amanda to work.

Yes, amanda doesn't care about the labels of the tapes, as long
as they obey the regexp in amanda.conf.  But, we humans do care a little.

It's not "supported", but you can shuffle around the lines in tapelist,
and get them in a more logical order again.  It's up to you to avoid
overwriting a tape that contains the last full dumps of the DLE's you need, if you try this.
