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.
