I'm not long using Amanda (haven't finished a full dumpcycle yet) and I've
decided that I'd like to use more tapes than I initially decided. I have

dumpcycle 2 weeks
runspercycle 10  
tapecycle 14 tapes

and I'd like to bump tapecycle up to 20 tapes or even a couple more because:

a) I have the tapes already :-)
b) Even if my backup load expands to nearly my full capacity (tape size *
runspercycle) with tapecycle = 2 * runspercycle I'll always have 2 full
dumps available.

Is there any problem with changing tapecycle now ?



Regards,



Niall  O Broin
