Here's what I have in my crontab
0 10 * * * /usr/sbin/amdump --no-taper dell 0 2 * * * /usr/sbin/amflush -b dell Here's what I have in my dell configuration org "Impari Systems" # your organization name for reports mailto "[email protected]" # space separated list of operators at your site dumpcycle 1 weeks # the number of days in the normal dump cycle runspercycle 7 # the number of amdump runs in dumpcycle days # (1 week * 5 amdump runs per week -- just weekdays) tapecycle 15 tapes # the number of tapes in rotation My problem - it runs and does an incremental backup. I've tracked it for over a month and it's only done incrementals. Here's an example of the output Hostname: ubuntu Org : Impari Systems Config : dell Date : July 31, 2012 There are 0G of dumps left in the holding disk. Run amflush to flush them to tape. The next tape Amanda expects to use is: dell-0002. STATISTICS: Total Full Incr.

Is this a (l)user error? Do I have something wrong with my config or the crontab entry?
