Ok I will do this and if I remember correctly we can't run 2 amdumps in
one day - right - it isn't recommended right? And I do run it a
second time the amdump.xx log numbers will increment.

I need to get a full dump of sda10. What do you suggest I do?
Should I stick a tape in the tape drive and force a full dump for
tonight's amdump? Is that safe to do or should I let the incrementals
Do you think this failed because my holding disk is 11 GB and I was trying

How can I identify amanda tapes by level of dump? I can label a tape
that had a full dump on Nov1 as daily111 but I can't label a tape
that had a full dump on Nov 24th as daily1124.
Yes - amlabel -f daily 111
or use a letter to represent the month -
NO - amanda@sundev1 [amanda] %
Amanda is running fine. I am running fulldumps to tape on weekends and
letting amanda have incrementals dump to holding disk during the
off-days. (since I am limited to the amount of tapes i can use)

How can I get amanda to do incremental dumps?
