Hi all
When I set the following in amanda.conf

dumpcycle 1 weeks
runspercycle 7
tapecycle 7 tapes

Does that mean I will get a full dump once a week and encrementals 
everey day(7 days)

What will be the formula to work on here?
dumpcycle= period between full dumps?
runspercycle= number of times backups will be done(divided into dumpcylce)
tapecycle=number of tapes used in dumpcycle.

If I have dumpcycle=1 week and runspercycle=5 and tapecycle=5
Will I then get 1 full dump per week and incrementals monday to friday ?

Sorry for this all but I am writing a newbie howto and need to get my 
facts straight.
