Hi, After all the testing, I have decided upon a basic Amanda configuration for my requirements. I have 20 tapes with me that I plan to rotate every 4 weeks. I plan to configure Amanda to take full backup once a week. The backup will executed only on the 5 week days. So, as per my understanding my amanda.conf should have the following parameters
dumpcycle 1 week runspercycle 5 tapecycle 20 tapes runtapes 1 I would be grateful if anybody could confirm whether the above parameters are good enough. I am particularly confused with the "tapecycle" parameter. The amanda.conf man page states that "The number of tapes in rotation must be larger than the number of tapes required for a complete dump cycle. It is considered good administrative practice to set the tapecycle parameter slightly lower than the actual number of tapes in rotation." So what is a proper value for the tapecycle parameter in my case? Thanks in advance.
