-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Over time, the overall size of my backups has increased a bit and, in lieu of getting additional space, I decided to lower the number of backups we keep. As it ends up, we didn't really need quite that much... I edited the amanda.conf file and updated it with the new number of tapes in rotation. My config looks like this now :
dumpcycle 7 runspercycle 5 tapecycle 20 tapes I also nuked the directories on disk for slots 21+. It appears that things are backing up properly using this new cycle, but there also seems to be some residual data in the indices. What else should I update to resolve this? Also, amcheck seems to be complaining about labels and active tapes now. Is this a problem?
