I guess that is where my confusion lies. I have 5 tapes in slots 1-5 that I am attempting to use as set of "weekday" level 0 backups (i.e. a full backup each and every weekday night). When I created the DailySet1 I used the command: amserverconfig DailySet1 --template tape-changer \ -tapedev /dev/nst0 --changerdev /dev/sg1 --mailto [email protected] \ --dumpcycle 0 --runspercycle 1 --tapecycle 2 --runtapes 1 However amanda.conf now has: dumpcycle 1 week runspercycle 1 tapecycle 2 runtapes 1 and changer.conf has: firstslot=1 lastslot=5 driveslot=0 havereader=1 Should I change dumpcycle back to 0 and tapecycle to 1 or what?
