Hi Jean-Louis, | A vtape do not reserve the space, it only use the space of the dump you put on | it. | The vtape size should be the maximum size of any days or larger, they could be | 120GB or 2TG, the result will be the same. | Some vtape will use 5GB, some will use 120GB.
Thanks very much. That is quite helpful. Is it possible to re-use a vtape for several successive backups? If the vtape were twice the size of a level 0 backup, then the level 1 backups would be appended, but the next level 0 would be too large and would trigger a new tape. Additionally, How do I configure larger cycles, meaning, I will use 150GB each week, and 2TB can hold 13 weeks. How do I tell Amanda that after 13 weeks, she should start over by deleting the oldest vtape? Thanks for the help, -- Chris. V:916.974.0424 F:916.974.0428
