First, I'd like to thank you all for answering my previous questions. I almost got amanda to run.
Now, for testing, I set the dumpcycle 0 days, runspercycle 0 days, so that every time I call amdump, it will do a full dump.
In someone's post and even in the amanda doc, it says Amanda will choose when it will do a full or inc. dump due to load balancing.
1. If I want to do a full dump of the entire selected folder every week, and incremental dumps every other days (1 full, 6 inc. per week), does it mean I have to rely on amanda in choosing what to do with load balancing??
2. I read somewhere (which I can't find where and can't remember exactly) that for full dumps or for tapeless backup, holding disk should be set to no. When I set this to no, amanda complains that:
[can't dump no-hold disk in degraded mode]
Please tell me what this means.
Best regards,
