What are the amanda.conf settings (dumpcycle, runspercycle, tapecycle) for
getting a full backup each night, five days a week, with a four weeks
worth of tapes (20)?
thanks,
Keith

It must be an amanda day for me :-/
My amanda server backs up two Windows shares on an MS Small Business
Server, and has been doing so for many months. The day before yesterday my

I might have missed this in the FAQ-O-Matic.
I have a 20 tape rotation on which I do full backups each night(I'm
backing up about 10Gb on DDS3 tapes). I got this error this morning. It
looks to me that amanda isn't overwriting DailySet100 but appending it.
With 20 full backups, I really want
So you've got this pool of tapes that amanda rotates through. Does amanda
keep track of the number of formats to the tapes and alert you to ones
that should be retired?
If amanda doesn't keep track of this what strategies are prevalent for

O' gurus,
I initially labeled 10 tapes for my rotation and now I am labeling another
10. My first couple of tapes got labeled fine but now I'm getting this:
[root@presto DailySet1]# su amanda -c amlabel DailySet1 DailySet113
rewinding, reading label, reading label: Cannot allocate memory
