Here's a question i have created a new configuration file for a second run that will be a full offsite run.
My requirements are to have
a) a full run once a week
b) a rotation of 3 weeks before re-writing to a tape in the tape list.
 
 
 
here are my current parameters in amanda.conf
 
 
dumpcycle 0 weeks # the number of days in the normal dump cycle
 
runspercycle 3         # the number of amdump runs in dumpcycle days  -- i believe this should be "0" too.
 

tapecycle 4 tapes # the number of tapes in rotation
 
My question is considering the dumpcycle is 0 would i be able to restore from a tape that is 2 weeks old?
I believe the answer is yes becuase i dont think amanda expires data on a tape?
 
Thanks,
Anderson
