I started exploring Amanda few weeks back and have some questions regarding scheduling backups:
- If I specify dumpcycle as 0, then I would get full backup every day. Is that correct? Is it equivalent to specifying dumpcycle as 1 day? - We can tell Amanda how many backups we want, but we can't specify particular time for it. But then one can run amcheck and amdump using crontab. So if one specifies dumpcycle and runspercycle and also uses crontab for running amdump then will one setting override the other one? - Can I specify when not to run any backup process? I would like backs to run only during system idle time. So is there any setting that can be done in Amanda? Thanks, amit. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- |This was sent by [email protected] via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to [email protected]. +----------------------------------------------------------------------
