I need some dumpcycle advise.
I have a 40 slot tape library.
I have 4 "sets" of backups.
(4 configs with different systems in each config, some going to drive 1
some going to drive 0) All the configs use the same tapelist files, so
they are kind of aware of each other.
Amanda runs every day.
Each set can use 1 or two tapes.
(I told it it could use two, but most the time it only uses one).
Monthly I remove all the tapes from the library, send them offsite, and
install fresh ones. (this could be changed in order to meet my goal)
I need dumpcycle settings that ensure that every time I pull the tapes,
that all the data from the entire month is there.
currently I have
dumpcycle 20 days
runspercycle 20
tapecycle 40 tapes
Comments? Suggestions?
