We're moving the backup solution to a new dedicated server (whoopiee), so
I'm re-hashing this again. What we want is the following:
A) 2-4 weeks of backup history.
B) Full backups once per week.
C) Archival dumps once per month to tapes we just store away.
I'm using a 22-tape ADIC changer with the current configuration (and I
know it doesn't do either A or C above) that works just fine.

dumpcycle 2 weeks
runspercycle 10
tapecycle 22 tapes
runtapes 2

Now, I am thinking about going to this Daily config:
--
dumpcycle 1 week
runspercycle 5
runtapes 2
tapecycle 44
--
And adding another configuration that runs once a month and does a full:
dumpcycle 0
runspercycle 1
runtapes 22
tapecycle 22

Does this sound kosher? Thanks.
