Howdy,

Have been running amanda for a while now, but I'm really battling to get it 
configured right. Almost every day now I have to manually run amflush because 
amanda is generating dumps that are too big.

I have a very small (relatively speaking) tapecycle: 7 tapes. I understand 
that my dumpcycle should be such that I end up with two full dumps of each 
disk per tapecycle. But amanda plans according to days, not runs.

Am I being unreasonable here. I have Travan 4/8 GB tapes and am backing up 
around 20GB of data, but each disk is less than 2GB compressed. Should I be 
splitting the config?

Arrrgggh!

Regards,

Brian Jonnes
