I have been trying to make an archival tape configuration for some time
now. I have tried numerous suggestions, but nothing seems to be
effective in stopping Amanda from doing incremental backups. I am using
Amanda 2.4.3b4.
The point of this configuration is to run once every 4 weeks and always
do a full backup to tape. There are two tapes in the rotation and one is
aways off-site.

My amanda.conf:

dumpcycle 0
runspercycle 2
tapecycle 2 tapes

define dumptype comp-root-full {
        record no
        index yes
        comment "Root partitions with compression"
        compress client fast
        priority low
        skip-incr yes
}

define dumptype comp-user-full {
        record no
        index yes
        comment "Non-root partitions on reasonably fast machines"
        compress client fast
        priority medium
        skip-incr yes
}

define dumptype comp-user-full-gnutar {
        record no
        index yes
        program "GNUTAR"
        comment "user partitions dumped with tar and compression"
        compress server fast
        maxdumps 4
        exclude "./RECYCLER"
        skip-incr yes
}

My disklist:

server02.ct        sda1                        comp-root-full
1
server02.ct        sda2                        comp-user-full
1
server02.ct        sdd1                        comp-user-full
2
server02.ct        //SERVER01/BACKUP-C
comp-user-full-gnutar
server02.ct        //SERVER01/BACKUP-E
comp-user-full-gnutar
