Thanks everybody for clearing my doubt! More doubts :-)
I did few posts before expressing my concern about amanda not backing up few partitions. I realized that one of the reason could be that I put runspercycle as 5 weeks instead of 10 runs before. I guess amanda was thinking that it had approx 35 days to get full dumps of each partition instead of 10 days. Is this right assumption? I made the correction yesterday - made runspercycle to 10 and removed 'weeks' from that line. I did this change on the 8th day of my 10 day dumpcycle. I don't think amanda will be able to do full backup of those partitions in just 2 more days left of dumpcycle. Do you think I should wait for another cycle to complete and raise alarm if those partitions still don't show up in the backups? Or do I have to start fresh? (will amanda take care of this policy change in between?) What do you all say? Thanks for the help! Rohit PS: Meanwhile I'm also thinking to force full backups of those partitions which amanda has been ignoring.
