Just a point of example; I've had runtapes 3 for about 2 years but very few days exceed 1 tape. Where it helps me is when I'm lazy and forget to change the tape magazine and let several, or a week's worth, of dumps build on the holding disk. When I finally change the magazine and run amflush, amanda will use up to 3 tapes. If runtapes were 1, then I'd have to do many amflushes. -- Jon H.
