Hi I don't have no tpchanger specified in my ~amanda.conf

As
below                                                                           
                                               
# Specify tape device and/or tape changer.  If you don't have a tape
# changer, and you don't want to use more than one tape per run of
# amdump, just comment out the definition of tpchanger.

I am only using one tape per run that does a full backup onto tape.
Thus is there a way to check my tapes I did orderly label them but need
to verify which tape is DailySet4.

Cheers
