Is there some limit to the number of tapes it will track or the length
of a cycle?

I haven't used it for a while, but I thought it had an indexing
mechanism that would let you tell it what you want and it would tell
you the tapes you need and the order to restore them (for full +
incremental cases). And it could re-index the tapes if you lost the
disk copy. Maybe that doesn't fit your use, but it seemed handy.
