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.
