It does not check tape 7, nor tape 1 or tape 2. If tape 7 is loaded (
AmandaFullBackup22 ), then amcheck is happy. I suppose one can mix &
match, but i suppose in a BIG tape changer there may be a few empty
slots, and a few full ( and even some with the tapes you want to use as
the backup media ).
ALSO openening the changer door resets the changers idea of whats loaded
in each slot. The first time i run amcheck, i get a tape error. The
changer does not move. But his test would ruin one nights backup
attempt! A second amcheck gets it going.
