Well, the idea is right.  You don't generally reuse a tape before it's
full, because you'll be erasing all the recent backups.  Generally you
allow the images on that tape to expire first.

However, if you want to immediately reuse a tape, just go to the volume
list and change the status of the tape from 'full' or 'appendable' to
'recyclable'.  That will set every image on the volume as recyclable,
and will allow networker to use the tape if it needs one for writing.
