It is supposed to be sort of "unmaintained forever". - If I put runtapes 1: will it still use more than one tape if needed? - If I put runspercycle 3 and runtapes 2 then I still would need 7 Tapes... - If I put runspercycle 2 and still call it 5 times: will it confuse amanda? I know I could find out trying but it would take ages. >if you want only level 0 backups, you should set dumpcycle to 0. >Christoph >
