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.
