Am I missing something really easy here.... I have 35 tapes in rotation with a Dell Powervault 120T 7 tape autochanger. Usually the backups only take about 2 or 3 tapes, I have runtapes set to 4 just in case. This is still a work in progress. The problem that I am having is that when amanda uses the the last set of tapes (DailyDLT-29-35) and the next available tapes (DailyDLT-01-07) are loaded, amanda thinks they are active and refuses to use them. For example, even though the tape list shows an entry like "20040801 DailyDLT-01 reuse " well over the 7 day dumpcycle and not even containing data that is needed for a full dump, amanda still thinks the tape is active and won't use it. For a workaround i keep having to amrmtape and amlabel to relabel it and set tapelist right- I know I must be missing something simple... Am I correct in understanding that by setting the dumpcycle to one week that amanda should happily reuse any tape older than seven days provided there were not any errors in the previous weeks run? Here's an excerpt from my amanda.conf: dumpcycle 7 days runspercycle 7 tapecycle 35 tapes bumpsize 20 Mb bumpdays 1 bumpmult 4 etimeout -3600 dtimeout 1800 ctimeout 1300 tapebufs 20 runtapes 4 Thanks for any help!!
