hi again...
i need a little help in setting up my dumpcycles.
i want to do backups over a period of 4 or 8 weeks with a full dump once per
week (monday).
is it right, that the length of the backup-period has nothing mutch do do
with the length of the dumpcycle and the runspercycle?

hi all,
this is probaby a newbies question,
i'm looking for the amanda-2.4.3 setting to backup to disk. I just find
in the FAQ that there is a particular setting to do this whith 2.4.3...
Is someone could send me an URL, or more information about this?
any help would be appreciate,

Does anyone know of a utility to scan tapes for bad blocks, filemarks,

Thanks,
