I recently changed my config from
dumpcycle 4 weeks
runspercycle 20
tapecycle 25 tapes
to
dumpcycle 2 weeks
runspercycle 12
tapecycle 50 tapes
backups are working fine, but I'm confused by the following output
which is just an example of one device:
$ amadmin DailySet1 find

If it is a problem, you can set the 'maxpromoteday' for this disk.

Yep, this makes sense based on the notes from the planner. I guess
the only reason it would be a problem is if I'm running
I have a tape library (38) unit with one lto2 tape unit and one empty
tape slot.
I need to speed up our backups.
One option is to purchase a second tape unit but not sure how Amanda
works with a two tape drives. I searched the wiki for information but
did not get any hits.

You should use 'amrmtape' to remove the tapes you deleted with 'rm'
Modern versions of Amanda have an --erase option to amrmtape that can

I agree, but the caveat is that the planner will do its darndest to make full
use of the extended capacity of the LTO4 cartridge.
In my case, our backups went from between 5 and 8 hours with LTO2 tapes to well
over 24 hours in some cases with the LOT4s - same DLEs. It took some fancy

Perhaps the solution is not in changing the planner behavior, but in taper

better allocation of media.

Just got a little further -
Realized the Ubuntu apt-get package makes modifications to your
inetd.conf file, so that's why amandaidx was running. Also, the
amanda-server does not install the client portion (or amandad) so needed
to run sudo apt-get install amanda-client

Thanks for your input.
I am using a 38 slot StorEdge C4 unit and one LTO2 tape drive.
See some answers below.
I just was looking to see if this is or could be done and if so how. With the
virtual tape array maybe this will be mute.
