That's mean I have to setdate one by one in history for all levels to
restore?

Actually I backed up one month (30 tapes). At the end of month tapes will be
overwritten. So, I want to restore for the whole month before tapes being
rotated for the new month because I want to make it as a archive for 1 year.
(let say restore for November before December start).

So, I have to restore one by one (setdate)? Is there any solution to backup
the whole month at one go? Sorry, maybe I am a bit confused.
