hi,
I do use amanda on a --DAILY BASIS-- base over 2 week(dumpcycle) with a
        -dumpcycle      :2 week
        -runspercycle   :10 (so 1 run per day)
        -tapecycle      :1 month ( 28 tapes)

        -64 backup host
        -100 entries in the disklist

        -the average of data on the tape is 20Mb when the maximum capacity is
35Mb
        -we do not have a tape changer and would like to keep the whole backup
on 
        the same tape


But I would like to use amanda also on a 2 --WEEKS BASIS-- to keep a
backup
over 2 years..
on exactly the same disklist

the questions are multiple

        -how can well define the following parameters...(can I approximate them 
        with the informations gathered in the --DAILY BASIS--)
                -dumpcycle : 2 month
                        I thought to keep approximatively the same 
                        runspercycle 10 -> 8(8*WEEK~=2month ). So it will give me a 
                        dumpcycle of 2 month

                -bumpsize (knowing that for the daily basis it was a 20Mb)
                        I do have no idea on how to modify knowing that we stretch
                        
                        what is the dumpsize for a daily basis                  
                -bumpdays (......it was at 1)
                -bumpmult (......it was at 4)

thanks in advance
