Oops. Do you have "runtapes 2" ? I think you would have to mark all of the tapes that are in this run as no-reuse to get it to cycle around.
Do you have runtapes * runspercycle = tapecycle? (ie, runtapes=2, runspercycle=5, tapecycle=10 or something like that?) I should have been more explicit about there needing to be spare tapes in the rotation for no-reuse to do what you would expect. >From what I've seen on the list, it's a good idea to have tapecycle > runtapes*runspercycle, for just this reason. You can temporarily pull a tape from the rotation without confusing AMANDA. (For example, I have runtapes=1, runspercycle=5, tapecycle=30, so I have six complete backup sets, one for each of the last six weeks. I picked those numbers based on the number of tape magazines I had for my changer.)
