Hello everyone!
I'm going to backup some data and store it for many years. The
dumpcycle will be 1 week with 5 runs per cycle. Amanda requires
positive tapecycle. But I don't really know how long the data will be
stored. What is the best way to resolve this problem? I thought about
setting tapecycle something like 20000, but this isn't the best solution.
Why not?
You can also mark them as not reusable with 'amadmin CONFIG no-reuse LABEL'
Also I'm planning to use vtapes. I don't know how many slots and
vtapes will be necessary in future. So is it possible to automate
slots and vtapes creation and labeling?
As far as I know it is possible to use autolabel directive for
labeling. But does it create new slots?
