In my configuration file I have tapecycle 30 dumpcycle 7 days runspercycle 7
storing on 30 virtual disks of 10GB each and running amdump every day in the morning. As I understand this will make one full backup a week and 6 incremental backups the other days of the week. This is ok but using amrecover history (see below) I can see it only keeps 29 days of backup data. If I want one year of backup data do I need to create 365 virtual disks and set tapecycle to 365?? What if I need to keep 10 years of backup data due to client requirements? ################################## 200 Disk set to /var/lib/data. amrecover> history 200- Dump history for config "suj" host "test.example.com" disk /var/lib/data 201- 2012-01-18-03-51-02 1 suj22:8 201- 2012-01-17-03-51-02 0 suj21:7 201- 2012-01-16-03-51-02 0 suj20:9 201- 2012-01-15-03-51-01 1 suj19:8 201- 2012-01-14-03-51-01 0 suj18:8 201- 2012-01-13-03-51-01 0 suj17:10 201- 2012-01-12-03-51-01 1 suj16:8 201- 2012-01-11-03-51-01 1 suj15:8 201- 2012-01-10-03-51-01 0 suj14:8 201- 2012-01-09-03-51-01 0 suj13:8 201- 2012-01-08-03-51-01 1 suj12:10 201- 2012-01-07-03-51-01 0 suj11:8 201- 2012-01-06-03-51-01 0 suj10:7 201- 2012-01-05-03-51-01 1 suj09:8 201- 2012-01-04-03-51-01 0 suj08:8 201- 2012-01-03-03-51-01 1 suj07:9 201- 2012-01-02-03-51-01 0 suj06:7 201- 2012-01-01-03-51-01 1 suj05:8 201- 2011-12-31-03-51-01 0 suj04:7 201- 2011-12-30-03-51-01 0 suj03:7 201- 2011-12-29-03-51-01 1 suj02:8 201- 2011-12-28-03-51-01 0 suj01:7 201- 2011-12-27-03-51-01 0 suj30:8 201- 2011-12-26-03-51-01 0 suj29:7 201- 2011-12-25-03-51-01 1 suj28:8 201- 2011-12-24-03-51-01 0 suj27:8 201- 2011-12-23-03-51-01 0 suj26:7 201- 2011-12-22-03-51-01 1 suj25:8 201- 2011-12-21-03-51-01 0 suj24:7 201- 2011-12-20-03-51-01 0 suj23:6
