Legato question about tape redundancy

Hi,
I have installed a legato system 7.2.1 for a customer on solaris. We
have a set of full tapes and set of incrementals. The tapes are L203's
so have a lot of capacity. The customer is concerned that he is writing
to the same full backup tape for 2 months in a row and asked if every
week he could write to a different full tape (just in case this tape
gets knackered)

I did say you could unmount a full tape and mount another one as i
think legato will just use whats there. Is there an automatic way to do
it in legato, or will I have to write a script? There are 5 full tapes,
so i guess i would have to write one to mount each one in turn?

Thanks

.
