Hi Martin

Please check over

So create in /etc/amanda/MonthlySet1/amanda.conf

dumpcycle 0 weeks       # the number of days in the normal dump cycle
runspercycle 1          # One run per month
tapecycle 12 tapes      # the number of tapes in rotation 12 per Year.


In my crontab for amanda user 

# sudo -u amanda crontab -e
# Backup check running amcheck at 4.30pm on the 2nd day of each and
every month.
30 16 2 1-12 * /usr/sbin/amcheckMonthlySet1
#  Backup dump running amdump at 18.30pm on the 2nd day of each and
every month.
30 18 2 1-12 * /usr/sbin/amdump MonthlySet1

Thus label 12 Monthly tapes MonthlySet101 to MonthlySet112.
Tobe pulled and archived accordingly.
