So, the idea is to get only fairly recent (no more than 3 day old)
files that contain "_F_".
Not sure if the nofull strategy will deselect some of the files
in the include list on you. Depends on how often you generate files
with "_F_" in the file name and how often you are running amanda.
Do you want "_F_" in the selection and nofull and skip exluding
files that are more than 3 days old ? If you are backing up more
frequently than 3 days and you are also generating _F_ files more
frequently than 3 days you will select them for the include file
but I don't know if they will be backed up or ignored with the
nofull strategy.
Let me ask another way. I assumed that nofull would set the
dump'd bit to level 1 in the file so that the next level 1
would not back it up again. Is that the case ?
