Hi Amanda Users,
I have some Amanda configuration questions that I hope you could answer
:-). These are the entries in my amanda.conf file:
****************************************************************************
**********************
dumpcycle 1 weeks # the number of days in the normal dump cycle
runspercycle 7 days # the number of amdump runs in dumpcycle days
tapecycle 60 tapes # the number of tapes in rotation
# 4 weeks (dumpcycle) times 5 tapes per
week (just
# the weekdays) plus a few to handle
errors that
# need amflush and so we do not overwrite
the full
# backups performed at the beginning of
the previous
# cycle
labelstr "^DailySet1[0-90][0-90]*$" # label constraint regex: all tapes
must match
****************************************************************************
**********************
- Do I have "dumpcycle" and "runspercycle" correctly set if I want a level 0
every week?
- "tapecycle" we want to keep a year worth of data, before we recycle the
tapes, is this were I estimate the number of tape used in a year? I have
an AIT drive with 30 slots.
- How would I range the "labelstr" to accomplish performing daily
incremental backups with a level 0 every week, using a 30 slot changer?
When I test ran Amanda for the first time with a forced level 0 it took
about 4 tapes, our level 0's are about 250GB.
Thanks!
Ward.
