Just to clearify things. Taking the tape out of rotation just means: Do not insert it again. For example: If I take DailySet107 out of rotation then I just have to enter DailySet108 when Amanda requires DailySet107, right? If this is true, then personally I would always use this with no-reuse because it makes things clear and prevents errors. Thanks, Christian
