Hi
ok, with that data given i would suggest the following:
adjust your tapetype to match the size of your tapes,
set runtapes to 1,
leave tapecycle at 6,
leave dumpcycle at one week and
runspercycle at 5, and amanda will do nicely what you want her to do.

Sometimes it's not easy to guess which directory is the correct one, especially since

The client has firewalling rules applied so, following the amanda

No. If you specify an exclude list in a dumptype, then that file must

My conclusion is that Amanda uses different hight tcp ports to
transfer data from the client to the server. Is that true?
