recommended dumpcycle, runspercycle and tapecycle

[Jason Lavigne]

(I have a few questions and figured I would split them up as opposed to asking all in one email)   To be very honest, I have no idea what these values should be for my setup, I have the Adic VLS DLT7000 with 7 tapes in it and I would like to have the ideal setup, I have a couple spare tapes but I don’t really have the resources to buy any more tapes so I would like to rotate between these 7 (or 6, see below) tapes.     dumpcycle 6 days runspercycle 6 tapecycle 7 tapes   Side note: I am keen on placing a cleaning tape in to the final slot but wouldn’t know how to setup Amanda to know about and take advantage of the cleaning tape. As it stands now I clean the drive once a week manually. Any suggestions about this would be greatly appreciated.   TIA   Jay
