Hi I'm starting to look like a freaking RTFM kind of guy :( Don't know how I keep missing the obvious (1st the manpage now this <grin> more (idiotic) questions: Do the global dumpcycle and the one inside the backup type mean the same thing? If so do they have to have the same entry? and then what should I put in the global dumpcycle, runspercycle and tapecycle?

Left over, unchanged message from when only the two strategies were available? However, more reading would uncover in amanda.conf: # strategy - set the dump strategy. Valid strategies are currently: # ... # "noinc" - do level 0 dumps every time. # Unfortunately, this is not currently implemented. -- Jon H.
