Backup plan needs advice.

[bao]

Hello,

After a very long and hard time struggling with Amanda, I figured out 
that it's the Athlon bug, and have
switched to an Intel. Now it works. However, I am still confused of some 
things regarding the backup
plan, and hope someone will help me answer them.

I would like to back up everyday, in incremental, and a weekly full 
backup once a week, on a specified
day. Let the full be on Monday, and the incrementals be on the rest of 
the week. I now have to configs:

1. Weekly: has dumpcycle=0, runspercycle=1, tapecycle=1, strategy=noinc, 
index=yes, and record=no
2. Daily:  has dumpcycle=7, runspercycle=6, tapecycle=6, 
strategy=nofull, , index=yes, record=yes

The Weekly full will call amadmin to set to run level 0 before it runs.

Q1: If I want the incrementals of a week to follow from that week's 
full, how do I set the record??
(Mon : level 0, Tues-Sun : level 1 - backing up any changes from the 
most recent Monday)

Q2. The Weekly full backup will be transferred to tape with a cycle of 8 
tapes, then rotate. What do
I need to copy to tape beside the backup image?? index ?? log ?? debug 
files ??

Thank you all,
