Just wondering.
running amanda 2.4.2p2 w/ ufsdump (solaris) using HW compression (& no
SW compression) on tape drive.
tapetype (AIT sony, forget which Model, but sposed to get 24g
uncompressed, maybe 35 or 40 compressed, I forget)
We were using tapetype def:
define tapetype AIT25GB {
comment "AIT 25GB tape"
length 31704 mbytes
filemark 769 kbytes
speed 2773 kbytes
}
and consistently amanda reports writing no more than 16gb max per
night.
?
I would like to have amanda write more full backups to tape.. I.E.
pretty much if possible do only level 0's and 1's
Is the answer to:
1) increase the "length" in tapetype, and amanda will just write more?
or
2) decrease the dumpcycle (currently at 1 week, w. runspercycle at 5,
tapecycle 16 tapes)
to something like 4 days?? with 3 runs per cycle?
?)
thanks.
