Dear colleagues,

This is a suggestion of a possible improvement for amanda.

  To check if the tape cartridges are in the tape unit, just 
  before starting the transfer to the tape of the backup files 
  recorded on the disk, instead of doing this check of the very
  beginning of the backup session.

Looks like this check is being performed at the very beginning 
of the backup operation. So, if for any reason the tape cartriges 
are inserted a few minutes right after the backup have started, 
amanda will not use the tapes and write the backup files only to
the disk.

Sincerely,
