This is probably something trivial.
in my amanda.conf I have
dumpcycle 1 week # the number of days in the normal dump cycle
runspercycle 5 # the number of amdump runs in dumpcycle days
# (4 weeks * 5 amdump runs per week -- just
# weekdays)
tapecycle 25 tapes # the number of tapes in rotation
# 4 weeks (dumpcycle) times 5 tapes per week (just
# the weekdays) plus a few to handle errors that
# need amflush and so we do not overwrite the full
# backups performed at the beginning of the
# previous
# cycle
runtapes 1
I have indeed 25 tapes in my tapelist.
Now when I do an
amadmin myconfig tape it tells me
The next Amanda run should go onto tape LTO020 or a new tape.
Meaning there's only one specific tape amanda will overwrite.
Im lazy, and Id like to have a list of 5 tapes (so that I can take the
tapes for a whole week, stack them, next to the tapedrive, and use them in
whatever order I please.
What is the trick to get this done ?
