The global dumpcycle can be overruled for some specific dumptypes. So that you can have e.g. a global dumpcycle of 7 days, but a few important DLE's can specify a dumpcycle 0 (= full backups allways). Runspercycle and tapecycle can only be global.
I assume there is nothing special about a DLE dumpcycle of 0, is there? I.e. a DLE dumpcycle of 3 won't somehow conflict with a (global) runspercycle of 5?
Nothing special at all.
And how does one cope as data storage requirements start to increase? My understanding is that you can do the following:
- if necessary, label a few more tapes and increase the tapecycle - increase the global and DLE dumpcycles as required
Yes.
There are no other steps involved? If I have that right, it just seems too easy.
Not everything has to be complicated :-)
