Hello,
I changed the configuration of my tapecycle.
I want to use the tapes as follows:
- 5 days a week (Monday-Friday)
- 4 weeks a month -> this must be 20 tapes.
after these 20 tapes (4 weeks) a new tapecycle should begin.
My configuration of amanda.conf looks like this:
dumpcycle 4 weeks # the number of days in the normal dump cycle
runspercycle 20 # the number of amdump runs in dumpcycle days
# (4 weeks * 5 amdump runs per week -- just
weekdays)
tapecycle 25 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
(I hope it's ok!)
after changing the configuration I am no more able to run an amflush because
I have an active tape in my /dev/nst0.
All I want is to reset my configuration so that a new tapecycle can begin.
All tapes should be deleted from the catalogue and I want to start with the
label r-tec01.
Could you please give me a tip how that works?
Thank you so much!
Regards,
Leonie Nuenighoff
