Hey I have 5 tapes, for 5 workingdays a week. I backup 4 partitions, two being on the tapehost itself, 2 on a remote host.
Right now, the system does a backup every day (the dumptype is "always full"). The 2 partitions on the host itself can do a full backup everyday (no network traffic). The two other partitions on the other host: I want to do a full dump on fridaynight, and during the week I want incremental backups. Is this more clear? Did I make a mistake in my configuration? (because this seems to work) Again, my values: dumpcycle : 4 days runspercycle: 5 days tapecycle: 5 tapes thnx Tom Paul Bijnens wrote: > > Tom Van de Wiele wrote: > > > > Hi list > > > > I'm running amanda without any problems, but I want to change > > something.
