Hello!

I'm interested in some advice on the best way to configure my dump
cycle. This cycle will run once a week and performs full backups.
Every forth week we take one tape out the cycle for archiving and
replace it with a new tape. So is this would this be the optimal
amanda.conf settings for that? 

dumpcycle    28
runspercycle 4
tapecycle 4 tapes       

And then I should mark the 4th tape "no-reuse" ? I'm also not clear of
the best use of that feature as well. 

Thanks!

        Mark
