I am using vaulting send copies of my backups to vtapes located on external USB drives, and would like to write a script to mount the proper partition for the next run's vault volume before kicking off the dump (or amcheck, for that matter). So, I'm wondering if there is any command available to show the tape label Amanda would like to use next which _does_ use the taperscan algorithm but _doesn't_ check the current status of the changer? Thanks.
