Thanks so much for the reply!

I can change that parameter value, however, in the 'HOWTO'
I was following, it tells me to comment out that specific
parameter so I don't think that will help:

   ---------------------------------
   /etc/amanda/DailySet1/amanda.conf
   ---------------------------------
   # These are the options that differ from      
   examples/amanda.conf

   dumpcycle 14 days
   tapecycle 14
   #runspercycle  # defaults to 1 per day

   runtapes 1
   tpchanger "chg-multi"
   changerfile "/etc/amanda/DailySet1/changer.conf"
   # Comment out tapedev and changerdev

Thanks for the input, though - I'll make sure to
double-check the value so when I do get ready to write it
to tape, the value is correct!
