Hello. I heard Amanda can schedule backups automatically. So I tried using this function. But it doesn't work as expected.
I set Amanda as follows. - dumpcycle: 1 days - runspercycle: 5 - tapecycle: 8 tapes - strategy of dumptype: standard (default) - maxpromoteday: 10000 (default) - 4 DLEs (1.5GB, 1GB, 1.5GB, 1GB) I registered amdump command in crontab and Amanda ran every 3 hours. I expected that it is backed up with backup level 0000 for each DLEs first time, and then the backup level will be changed 0111, 1011, 1101, 1110, ... . But the real result is that the backup level was changed 0000, 1101, 1101, 1101, 1101, 0010, 1101, ... . The backup level 0010 was appeared in 12 hours cycle. What should I do to get the result I expected? What are the criteria of scheduling of Amanda? Regards, Chaerin.
