Hi I have 10 dat tapes that I will run per my cycle 5 per 5 day week. Thus every fortnight. I am correctly concluding I need only a tapecycle of 10 tapes I hope to pull out the last Friday tape in that Month to archive and thus label another tape to replace it.
Here's my config file. dumpcycle 0 weeks # the number of days in the normal dump cycle runspercycle 1 # the number of amdump runs in dumpcycle days # (4 weeks * 5 amdump runs per week -- just weekdays) tapecycle 10 tapes # the number of tapes in rotation # 4 weeks (dumpcycle) times 5 tapes per week (just # the weekdays) plus a few to handle errors that Cheers Chuck -- Unix/ Linux Systems Administrator Chuck Amadi The Surgical Material Testing Laboratory (SMTL), Princess of Wales Hospital Coity Road Bridgend, United Kingdom, CF31 1RQ.
