Yes! it is. I think my PowerVault is configured to compress by hardware in a ratio of
2:1 (by default). I this case do you think can I make use of these values? are these
right?

I saw something like these in my debian-amanda docs ... I will review it,

I saw in the documentation that a dumpcycle value of 0 indicates to amanda run a full
backup with every amdump. So I've tried to indicate to amanda " by rotating my 2 tapes
you must to do a full backup every amdump".
I want that amanda warns by mail ... "needed tape Backup01 .... needed tape Backup02"
(rotated) and it does a full backup every amdump with every tape... how to accomplish
this?

while I haven't the rest of tapes I must to do backups not only for testing but
"operative". I thinked that at least doing a weekly full backup are ok ... at the
moment.
Best regards,
