What exactly does your dumptype look like? What do you have for
dumpcycle/runspercycle/tapecycle?
This is what I use for our archival setup:
dumpcycle 0 days # Can also be specified in dumptype
runspercycle 1 # Doesn't matter
tapecycle 1000 tapes # Always a new one..
define dumptype always-full {
global
comment "Full dump of this filesystem always"
program "GNUTAR"
priority high
compress none
record no
}
Where global contains only 'index yes'. You want to set 'record no'
otherwise the archive setup will interfere with incrementals on the daily
setup.
