Hi,
I have browsed the online mailings and just really want to confirm some
settings for the dumpcycle and runspercycle.
At present I'm just setting up a full backup system, then work to daily
incrementals.
I have got the system to work by running a onetime backup using my
configuration, so that areas fine, but I'm still slightly confused (even
after reading the explanations) at what the: dumpcycle and runspercycle
are.
Heres my senario:
I want to run a a 2 week cycle for full backups every sunday night.
so I have set the following:
dumpcycle: 14 days
( I have set this to 14 days as 2 weeks span 14 days in total)
runspercycle: 2
( I want to do 1 full run a week, so as the dumpcycle is over 2
weeks, then I want to do 2 full level '0' dumps)
tapecycle: 5
( Iam using 5 tapes, as I will only need 2 tapes in total, but added some
more for disaster recovery)
Have I worked this out correctly?
Cheers
Mark
