Hi all,
I've been using amanda 2.4.2 cvs for a while and I'm a little confused
with the config.
When I run amcheck it sits there and changes tapes even though it finds
empty ones.
If I increase the tapecycle it works fine. However, I would like to
start reusing tapes if possible.
I have 70 DLT IV tapes (I want to keep some for archival) and my config
(relavent section) looks like this:
____SNIP_____
org "DailySet1" # your organization name for reports
mailto "noc" # space separated list of operators at your site
dumpuser "amanda" # the user to run dumps under
inparallel 9 # maximum dumpers that will run in parallel
netusage 6000 Kbps # maximum net bandwidth for Amanda, in KB per
sec
dumpcycle 10 weeks # the number of days in the normal dump cycle
runspercycle 50 # the number of amdump runs in dumpcycle days
# (4 weeks * 5 amdump runs per week -- just
weekdays)
tapecycle 57 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
____SNIP____
Do I just need to put one of the older DailySet1 tapes in or what?
Thanks,
Mike
