every run a new tape?

[Juanjo]

Why amanda uses a new tape on every night run?

Tapes are 40/80GB DLT1, and I dont understand why It dumps daily
incrementals to a new tape always, most of tapes are not even at 20%.

Any help? Is it any parameter I've missed out?

Thanks.

Amanda does not append to tape, so it expects the next tape in the cycle or 
a new one.
