I haven't used chg-manual, but I assume it sits there waiting for you to put in a tape and say its ready. However, if you have adequate holdingdisk space, it could still do incrementals (and fulls if reserve isn't set too low) to disk, although perhaps it is waiting on the manual input before deciding on whether to run in normal or degraded mode.
