SolutionThis option does not mean it will create two successive recovery tapes. It is going to keep two configurations saved by the make_tape_recovery process under /var/opt/ignite/recovery directory with the date,time format. When run next time, it will remove the oldest configuration directory.
It is quite useful for make_net_recovery as the archives are actually stored on the ignite server, than for make_tape_recovery. check_recovery which is not available now used to use this information to tell the administrator if there is a need to run make_recovery (old utility) again.

Re: make_tape_recovery , Number of Archives to save ?
Is there any way of knowing at the beginning how many tapes it will use? I added 2 filesystems to it and want to know if I should stick around to pop in a second tape.

Be sure to keep in mind that a lot of the tape manufacturers emphasise the compressed (usually a 2:1 ratio) capacity of the tape. Depending on what you are backing up though, you may not get that much on a tape. I always figure with the native (non-compressed) amount and if I get more on a tape, I'm lucky.

Check the list_expander options:
# /opt/ignite/lbin/list_expander -?
usage:
OPTIONS: [-f file] [-d] [-l -|file [-S] [-C]] [-s] [-v] [-?|h]
-f file Used to specify the content_list file to use.
-d Used to request list of disks/vgs and indicate PARTial or FULL inclusion.
-l -|file Used to request list of files, "-" to stdout.
-s Used to request cumulative size of files.
-S Used to request size and date on each file in list.
-C Used to request checksum on each file in list.
-A Used to indicate that all files on each selected disk or volume group are included. If this is in conjunction with the -d option, then sets inclusion to FULL.
-v Used to specify verbose output (show lvols in disk/vg list).
-?|h Used to show the usage of this program.
# /opt/ignite/lbin/list_expander -f
/var/opt/ignite/recovery/latest/archive_content ???s

The value given is in Kb
