I have 1 logical tape in a cycle but this can be splited in two tapes.
Is this ok?

I dont want to do two day-alternate backup with full and increment 1 dumps.

I want to do full dumps every day, and instead of using one tape I would
like to use two tapes.

yes. should it be 2 ?

It should be the number of tapes you have in a cycle, AFAIK.

But I want to use everyday full backups on new tapes, in cycle of reusable tapes

So you want full backups every day, onto a different tape every day?

I'd think the easiest way to set this up would be to set tapecycle to
the number of tapes you have in rotation, or the number of tapes your
changer can hold, and then use the dumptype option "strategy noinc".

Somebody who's been using AMANDA longer can probably correct me
though. ;)
