i just wanted to make sure i had my amanda configured properly

i want it to run a backup every weeknight, mon-fri
i only want it to do one full backup every week, with incrementals the 
rest of the time
and i have six tapes in the 5 for backups and a 6th one for "flushes"

here is my configuration:

dumpcycle 5 days
runspercycle 1
tapecycle 6 tapes

is this correct or have i missed something here?

everything else is running fine, however i've only been running it since 
monday this week ;-)

everyday at 4 amcheck looks to see if i need to change the tape, and 
that is working fine, and every midnight the backup seems to run 
properly, and the logs look fine, today it even reported to me that it 
was going to move the full dump of  3 of the "directories" ahead 5 days 
"Full dump of filezzz:/home promoted from 5 days ahead", or am i reading 
that wrong

all i all i am quite happy with amanda and i look forward to 
implementing it here at work in the near future
