This is what I understoond by the terms "dumpcycle", "runspercycle" &
"tapecycle". Please correct me if I have misunderstood these terms.

dumpcycle 2 weeks:
Full backups of all shares will be done once in every 2
weeks (or 10 days - excluding weekends (sat/sun))

runspercycle 10:
amdump runs 10 days a for dumpcycle of 2 weeks (or 10 days dumpcycle)

tapecycle 20 tapes:
number of tapes to use per dumpcycle of 2 weeks. 10 tapes X 2 dumpcycles =
20 tapes.

Did I understand this right?

Thanks again!
