So you do have actually 17 tapes.
From the previous mail:
Here are they some parameters of my amanda.conf file : dumpcycle 11 days runspercycle 4 tapecycle 15 tapes runtapes 3
The "tapecycle" instructs to amanda that it will cycle through _at_least_ 15 tapes. You may always feed more tapes. You seem
to have 17.
My archive config has a tapecycle of 12, but I have about 70 tapes
already, the oldest dating from 1999. Most of them are marked
"no-reuse" because they are archived, so amanda won't even ask for
them. But they do exist.
(yes, my "amoverview archive" is quite wide, currently 4463 columns;
too wide to show on screen, or even on A3-landscape in point 6.)
If those tapes are lost or damaged, you may forget about them with the command "amrmtape ConFig TAPE_16".
