I am setting up backups to USB disk drives. I plan to take the drives home every week and rotate in a new one. I have the backups working, so my plan is to swap out the drive on Monday, mark all of the ‘tapes’ from the old drive as no-reuse and create 5 new ‘tapes’ using mkdir and amlabel, and by rewriting changer.conf

 

Is there anything on the ‘tapes’ that is needed to successfully perform the subsequent backups?

 

Did I miss any steps?
