Hello!Mark
I'm interested in some advice on the best way to configure my dump
cycle. This cycle will run once a week and performs full backups.
Every forth week we take one tape out the cycle for archiving and
replace it with a new tape. So is this would this be the optimal
amanda.conf settings for that?
dumpcycle 28
runspercycle 4
tapecycle 4 tapes
And then I should mark the 4th tape "no-reuse" ? I'm also not clear of
the best use of that feature as well.
Thanks!
Mark

I do a separate run for the 'archive' tape. That way I can specify to just do level 0 dumps (ie full backups) always for all disks. If you just 'take out' a tape it will more than likely just have incrementals on it and an only level 0 if you by chance coincide with the amamda planner's view of when to do a level0.
