Anderson, I do something similar. Having an LTO3 what we don't change the tape in (this particular jukebox in the the favorite one onsite) we needed to extend the dumpcycle - or rather, the ability t
Yes, it is a bit less likely to know what to expect when dumpcycle is 0 yet tapecycle and rutapes are the parameters used in deciding when to reuse a tape http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/Taper_scan_
...and to also be clear, you are running this secondary, once-a-week, full-only run with "record no", correct? Paul -- Design Engineer Zmanda, Inc. http://www.zmanda.com/

Paul, Correct. While I had considered it at the time we added the secondary config, I did ultimately decide that the weekend full should use "record no". I imagine there are circumstances when someon

But again, basically dumpcycle is nominally the maximum time between level 0 dumps of a DLE. You can set it globally and on a DLE by DLE basis. So that would seem to imply that if I never wanted incr

Hello, Another way to force a full dump on every run is to add "strategy noinc" to the the dumptype definition you are using for this backup. Pavel * Example:* define dumptype root-tar { program "GNU
Is that correct? Or if I have a dumpcycle of 7 and a strategy noinc, will I just get a dump, a full one, every 7 days? I know what I describe is true of skip-incr. Not certain about strategy noinc. -
