No, darn it Jon. I just went thru my last 60 days (thats my tapecycle, 
and as long as I keep the index data too) doing 89 DLE's from 6 machines 
w/o it switching vtapes.  So since I swapped the 1T vtape for a 2T 
vtape, amanda has been a happy little housekeeper.

With my schedule, the 2T has been hovering at 49-51% usage.
