I've thought that when I am running 2 dumps a week using the maximum of 5 tapes per run a tapecycle of 10 tapes is enough for one week. Up to now I needed a maximum number of three tapes per dump. What will happen when 6 tapes were used in week 1 for backup and next week 4 new tapes remains for an new dumpcycle? Will amanda use 4 new tapes and 2 old tapes? If it is so, why do I get this error message from amanda. Sorry, but I'm still a little bit confused. > Beyond that, your configuration has potential "gotcha's". > When your tapecycle is exactly the number needed for one > dumpcycle, you are always overwriting tapes needed for > the one and only dumpcycle you have available. OK. This would be a problem. -- Regards Thomas
