Carl,
If this is your goal, and you want to use Amanda, I would suggest
this:
config "daily", run 5X/week:
- dumpcycle 7 days
- runspercycle 5
- tapecycle 25
- index yes
- record yes
- strategy normal
config "monthly", run 1X/month
- dumpcycle 0
- runspercycle 1
- tapecycle 12
- index yes
- record no
- strategy noinc
This gets you within a day for 5 weeks, and within a month for 1 year,
using 37 tapes. It will "just work", with very little effort on your
part, because there are Amanda users all over the world doing something
*very* close this.
Note that I've freely mixed dumptype and non-dumptype parameters here
for brevity, you'll be more careful, of course. :-)
Once you get over the extra tapes (hey, 37 > 20, but << 80!) and get
used to the idea that Amanda will do your daily fulls when *she* wants
(not when you want), you'll like it. Trust me. :-)
