Hello, I would like to rotate between multiple sets of 8 tapes because my changer supports maximum 8 tapes. So I have defined the following in my amanda.conf:
dumpcycle 5 days runspercycle 5 tapecycle 8 runtapes 2 When one set of 8 tapes is finished I will take it offsite and then start up with the next set, I plan to have maybe 5 sets which i will constantly rotate which means overwritting stuff. What kind of labelling should I use for that ? I was thinking of something like nameXX-Y where XX is the tape number where Y is the set letter, for example: mysite03-B that would be tape number 4 from set B or should I simply use "nameXX" ? But then AMANDA won't keep any history of the other sets... What do you think ? Regards Marc
