hello everyone. i have succefull installed amanda 2.4.4 on master server with 
tape drive and some linux host that needed to backedup. (sorry for pure 
english) 

1) can i configure amanda on master, so it make a backup from host to the 
loaded tape due media end and tape not eject after every amdump complete?

2) i select the following backup scheme:

every workday master backing-up the data, 5 days per week. = 5 cassete
at the end of the month i want to exclude from the future use the last used 
tape with full dump and send it to archive for yearly backup (12 monthes * 1 
tape =  12 tapes). can i include in rotation new cassete with new label (so 
the content of archived tape was stored in database) and which configuration 
i needed for it?

is enougn the following:

dumpcycle 1 weeks
runspercycle 5
tapecycle 20 tapes (12 on every month, 5 on week, and 3 for something)

vlad.
