I keep reading that there is less wasted space with tapes. Just because you
allocate X space for each tape, I believe they only use up the space that’s
actually used.
I does use up another number in your vtape roster, but those seem to me
to be free - just increase your vtape count and number a few more.
Odd about the holding disk trash preventing further backups.
I find months old stuff in my holding disk, and only clear it out
occasionally when the mood arises.
