Hello Marcin,

I'm doing about the same thing. I have written a plugin that checks if 
the backup runs fine and when the day arrives to change the tapes, the 
plugin outputs a warning (exit 1) and the message : 'please change the 
tapes'.

I don't know how sophisticated your backup software is, but I'm using 
Legato Networker and I can ask for the name of the tapes in the jukebox. 
And then I can compare these names with the tapes that are needed. So my 
message 'please change the tapes' disappears automatically, on the 
condition that you run the plugin more than once a day of course, for 
example once an hour.
