currently, i have a backup schedule that uses ten tapes over ten days.
however, i think this just provides one recent copy of a given file.
periodically, i'd like to create snapshots (full backups) in case
someone has a corrupt file that went unnoticed since the last backup.
what's the best
Lloyd,
(Assuming dump utility), Amanda will schedule a level 0 every (at most)
dump cycle if not more frequently. When the dump level is advances, to
say level 1, if the user file is modified it will appear on each level 1
until dump level becomes 2. If the file is again modified it will appear

Lloyd,
Highly recommended that you have at least 2x times the number
of runs as dump cycle, else you run the risk of overwriting
the only level 0 of any particular partition.
Can you run dumpcycle of 5 rather than 10 ? Depends on the
amount of data you are dumping and the capacity of your
