Yes, that is the historically desired behavior when DLE dumps could
not be split across physical or virtual tapes.  The last DLE dumped
when the tape "ran out" must be retaped in its entirety.  But with
chunks, no more than the last chunk should need to be retaped.
Amanda has record of which chunks were successfully taped.
