I need some dumpcycle advise. I have a 40 slot tape library.
I have 4 "sets" of backups. (4 configs with different systems in each config, some going to drive 1 some going to drive 0) All the configs use the same tapelist files, so they are kind of aware of each other. Amanda runs every day. Each set can use 1 or two tapes. (I told it it could use two, but most the time it only uses one). Monthly I remove all the tapes from the library, send them offsite, and install fresh ones. (this could be changed in order to meet my goal) I need dumpcycle settings that ensure that every time I pull the tapes, that all the data from the entire month is there. currently I have dumpcycle 20 days runspercycle 20 tapecycle 40 tapes Comments?
