# dumptypes
#
# These are referred to by the disklist file. The dumptype specifies
# certain "options" for dumping including:
# index - keep an index of the files backed up
# compress-fast - (default) compress on the client using fast algorithm
# compress-best - compress using the best (and slowww) algorithm
# no-compress - don't compress the dump output
# srvcompress - Compress dumps on the tape host instead of client
# machines. This may be useful when a fast tape host
# is backing up slow clients.
# record - (default) record the dump in /etc/dumpdates
# no-record - don't record the dump, for testing
# no-hold - don't go to the holding disk, good for dumping
# the holding disk partition itself.
# skip-full - Skip the disk when a level 0 is due, to allow
# full backups outside Amanda, eg when the machine
# is in single-user mode.
# skip-incr - Skip the disk when the level 0 is NOT due. This
# is used in archive configurations, where only full
# dumps are done and the tapes saved.
# no-full - Do a level 1 every night. This can be used, for
# example, for small root filesystems that only change
# slightly relative to a site-wide prototype. Amanda
# then backs up just the changes.
#
# Also, the dumptype specifies the priority level, where "low", "medium" and
# "high" are the allowed levels. These are only really used when Amanda has
# no tape to write to because of some error. In that "degraded mode", as
# many incrementals as will fit on the holding disk are done, higher priority
# first, to insure the important disks are dumped first.
