How would you configure the dumpcycle and tapecyle parameter in amanda.conf to perform full backups for everything in the disklist file every Sunday and differential incrementals on weekdays. By differential incrementals I mean that only cumulative files changed from the last full backup are backed up which would be Sunday in my case. If file "a" was changed on Monday and file "b" was changed on Tuesday, then the backups on Tuesday should contain files a and b. I think I need two separate amanda.conf files running in cron for the different times. I would prefer that all the differential incrementals take place on one tape and the full backup on another set of tapes. Therefore, two tapes will be used per week. One for diff incrementals and one for the full backups. By the way, I am using gnutar instead of dump since my backup server is a linux box and I have Solaris clients.
