What this means, is that if a dump ever fails (bad tape, network problems, 
etc.), there is a chance that you will have no backup at all.

If tapecycle == dumpcycle, then you are overwriting your very last dump each 
time, which is not very safe. Better to have tapecycle be at least double 
dumpcycle, so that you have a spare backup if the one you are erasing has any 
problem.
