Thanks to anyone who replied.
I got things clearer now.
I have now modified my cron job to run amanda just once a week and set
dumpcycle to 0. That way I will always get a full backup per week.
As soon as i finish saving data from the archival tapes I will get
them back to the tapecycle.
Thanks
there to just process a current dump.. allowing you to
decide exactly when dumps should occur, not allowing the planer to try and
figure it out for you.

you also need to update the cron entries so that it only runs on the days
you want it to.. read the crontab man page, and run the apropriate crontab
command for your system. (i can't tell you any more, because you didn't
say what OS and version you're running)

Hi!
I am running amanda-2.4.2p2 succesfully with 2 hosts (1 server, 1
client). All disklist entries (level 0 dump) fit well on a DDS-4 40GB
using software compression (about 24 GB now).
I have only 4 tapes in use and momentarily just 2 (I am keeping 2 of them as
archival tapes as I am burning so
