Ah! You should take a look at both the dvdrw device (for writing to
Robert,
I had another thought. You could set all your DLEs to
be set to do incremental only. I forget whether this
is "strategy nofull" or "strategy incronly" or ???.
With this you may be able to set you runtapes to 1
and maybe use a larger tape size as you would not
be archiving them to DVDs.

To be clear on the planner's reasoning: it considers itself to have
runtapes * tapetype:length kb available to pl

Why does Amanda do multiple level 0 backups? I only want 1 (and only
1) level 0 backup (of any given disk) in the backup cycle (4 weeks / 28
days). The documentation for the bump* parameters is not clear (to
me). I want Amanda to aggressively bump dump levels.
I don't have enough virtual tapes
