so you just start today... you can reorganize the end of the tapeline from (*-*-*) like that 20011214 Diaria-004 reuse 0 Diaria-006 reuse 0 Diaria-000 reuse 0 Diaria-001 reuse 0 Diaria-002 reuse 0 Diaria-003 reuse 0 Diaria-005 reuse because, amanda doesn't care about the name of the tape for determining which will be the next tape...it only care about the date's field "20011214"->(14th december 2001)....but when it comes about ading new tapes...it just take the last non-used one in the tapelist... > The report says: > > these dumps were to tape Diaria-004. > The next tape Amanda expects to use is: Diaria-006. > Why not the Diaria-005? got it....because at that time the last non-used tape in the tapelist was 006 > > > > > > dumpcycle 7 > > > runspercycle 5 > > > tapecycle 6 > > > > > > The tapes are labeled: > > > > > > Daily-000 (monday) > > > Daily-001 (tuesday) > > > Daily-002 (wednesday) > > > Daily-003 (thursday) > > > Daily-004 (friday) > > > Daily-005 (extra) You, can't expect with this configuration to use the Daily-000 only in monday... because you have a tapecycle of 6...so amanda will forces you to use the extra. This because you have only six tapes in your tapelist... But you should keep this configuration...and stop thinking that you will use the Daily-000 on monday...anyway, amanda keeps trace of what it is doing...so at the time you will recover information it will tell you which tape to use... Finally if you want to keep the idea of using the Daily-000 each monday... change your config as follow dumpcycle 7 runspercycle 5 tapecycle 5 it's up to you...
