Hi Amanda Users,

This is my first post in that list.
I'm using/testing amanda by 4 weeks and now I have a doubt about confs in amanda.conf.

My scenario is:

1 - I need to do daily backups only
2 - If possible, I need that only first backup (from the day) is full
3 - I have 7 DDS3 tape cartridges, one per day
4 - My backup has +/- 10GB per day


My confs about cycles is:

dumpcycle       0 days
runspercycle    1 day
tapecycle       7 tapes


Problem: 
In a first cycle (first week), daily backup is ok, no problems.
In a second cycle (starts on Sunday), amanda doesn't work was I think, amanda says:

*** A TAPE ERROR OCCURRED: [cannot overwrite active tape Sunday].
Some dumps may have been left in the holding disk.
Run amflush to flush them to tape.
The next tape Amanda expects to use is: Monday.

My Question is:

What's wrong in my *cycles ?
Who's can I solve this problem ?


Info:

Amanda 2.4.4
SO: Linux
Tape: Seagate Scorpion 40


Thanks.
