OK, so include in the header written on each disk its number in the backup series, as well as "if the disk is of the current backup". Then it will know whether or not it can write on that one. If it wants to write disk 60, and it just registered a diskchange, and the NEW disk is 60, then it writes the WHOLE disk 60 image to it, even if it had already done some of that previously. . . . . .
