Hi all
I need some advice on this
I am also open to other suggestions or ways that
I want to do the following:
incremental (normal)backups moday to thursday--> Daily (4tapes rotated weekly--> cronjob mon to fri)
Full backups fridays-->Weekly (3/4 tapes rotated mothly cronjob fridys)
Full backups monthly-->Monthly (12 tapes rotated yearly cronjob last day of month)

Daily
dumpcycle 4 # the number of days in the normal dump cycle
runspercycle 4 # the number of amdump runs in dumpcycle days
# (4 weeks * 5 amdump runs per week -- just weekdays)
tapecycle 4 tapes # the number of tapes in rotation


Weekly
Got this setup here: http://amanda.sourceforge.net/fom-serve/cache/28.html
dumpcycle 0 # the number of days in the normal dump cycle
runspercycle 1 # the number of amdump runs in dumpcycle days
# (4 weeks * 5 amdump runs per week -- just weekdays)
tapecycle 4 tapes # the number of tapes in rotation


Monthly
dumpcycle 0 weeks # the number of days in the normal dump cycle
runspercycle 1 # the number of amdump runs in dumpcycle days
# (4 weeks * 5 amdump runs per week -- just weekdays)
tapecycle 12 tapes # the number of tapes in rotation


So I will (in a while) have full backups of the previous 4/5 weeks and full backups of everey month for previous year.
Boss wants it this way ;-)

Will this work?

I hope I have been clear enough
