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.
