When using the "tapetype HARD-DISK", how do I rotate a full vtape ?
Will Amanda overwrite the vtape ?

Reading through the documentation, I learned that amanda would not
overflow the backup onto another tape. Is this still true ? I have
440G dedicated to vtapes, my largest partition to be backed up is 80G.
Should I make my tape vtapes 90G in size ? The setup I have in mind,
would create 25 vtapes at 17G each, but I am worried about the
overflow issue.

Thanks
