Hello again!
Whilst setting up a full dump configuration to do monthly full dumps to tape, I'm torn between either:
strategy "noinc"
or
dumpcycle 0
To do a full dump. What's the difference here? Does it matter which one I use?
Heres my reading of what I've experienced from experimenting with these;
Suppose that a filesystem has grown too large to fit on the tape.
noinc will simply not dump that filesystem at all on that run.
dumpcycle 0 will fall back to incremental for that filesystem.
so when will amanda do a level 0 for that DLE, if that result for dumpcycle 0 would be true ? in normal cases, amanda would simply say "dumps too large" or something like that.
which amanda version do we speak about ?
...i'm just testing the spanning patch. this would be another testcase. so, thanks's for your hint :-)
