Hi,
as i'm using chg-scsi with some changers under linux let's check a few
things :
1.) remove all comments from chg-scsi.conf, sometimes i had problems
with chg-scsi which went away after removing them all.
2.) set lastslot to 4 or your cleaningtape will be loaded in every
search cycle

Hmm, when setting dumpcycle to zero, to what value should runspercycle

Both settings are equivalent. From planner.c:

Greetings - I'm just starting to get Amanda set up. I have a 5-tape
DLT7000 changer. I've been going back and forth about how to
structure my backup policies.
The amount of data that will be being backed up is around 10 gigs.
The DLTIV tapes I'm using should hold around 30 gigs, according to

Not quite. The tapecycle means amanda will not overwrite a tape until
27 others in the tapelist have been used. You could actually cycle
40 or 80 tapes and leave the tapecycle at 28 or reduce it to 7. Tape-

According to the amanda man page you should set dumpcycle to zero to
get full dumps each run.

BTW on the tapecycle, an advantage of having more tapes in cycle than
the number listed in amanda.conf is the occasional need to take a tape
