Hello,

using Amanda 2.4.4p2, I'd like to do daily full backups, no matter
what happens. I.e.: There are about 20 tapes, and humans (as opposed
to Amanda) are responsible for the correct tape beeing loaded before
each amdump run. If one forgets to change tapes the next run should
overwrite the tape which is still inserted.

To achieve this I set dumpcycle and runspercycle to 0, and tapecycle
and runtapes to 1.

This seems to work so far, except for the planner being discontent:

NOTES:
  planner: tapecycle (1) <= runspercycle (1)


Does my setup make sense? I'm quite new to Amanda. Should I just
ignore the planner note?

Hints are appreciated!


TIA, Jukka
