Guys, I am sure you will sleep better, knowing that I have configured
the IBM TotalStoragetape drive so that its tapes will reload in a
round-robin fashion endlessly. When the tape drive completes the final
tape (perhaps in slot 8), it will cycle back to the beginning (wherever
the beginning tape is) and get ready for the next day. This will be good
for the (admittedly rare) times where the drive is positioned past the
last tape. This will guarantee that the nightly tape backups will
always perform, unless we have a different hardware problem, like the
write tab being shut.
