Why does Amanda do multiple level 0 backups? I only want 1 (and only
1) level 0 backup (of any given disk) in the backup cycle (4 weeks / 28
days). The documentation for the bump* parameters is not clear (to
me). I want Amanda to aggressively bump dump levels.
I don't have enough virtual tapes

Thinking about a recent post caused me to wonder
about the bumpdays directive. Is it truely
measured in days as opposed to amdump runs?
If days, you could never get a bump if among
multiple runs the same day. Not too big a lose.
But what of sites that run dumps weekdays only.
Are the weekend

Neither, actually - it's measured in tapes / runtapes. So if your
runtapes is large but

I hope very few dumps take more than one tape, like none :)
To be clear on the planner's reasoning: it considers itself to have
runtapes * tapetype:length kb
When running amtape --help the usage message
is printed twice.

This sort of thing is not really well explained in the man pages...

OK, in trying to duplicate this, I'm getting dumper segfaults, which
is probably the same bug -- it looks like dumper is printing random

Robert,
I had another thought. You could set all your DLEs to
be set to do incremental only. I forget whether this
is strategy nofull or strategy incronly or ???.
With this you may be able to set you runtapes to 1
and maybe use a larger tape size as you would not
be archiving them to DVDs. You
