Hello,
    Well I finally got my tapes to rotate and amdump to write now I need help with getting this thing to do incrementals. I basically want 6 backups a week with 1 full and the rest incremental. So what option do I nedd in my disklist file and what should I have for dumpcycle, runspercycle, and tapecycle. Is this all I need to configure or is there more?
 
This what I have in my amanda.conf......
 
dumpcycle 1 week       
runspercycle 5         
tapecycle 7 tapes     
 
.....and in my disklist.
 
localhost /dev/sda3 always-full
Oh yeh if I want to do more than one partition for example /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda3 and so on would I add another line for example........
 
localhost /dev/sda3 always-full
localhost /dev/sda1 always-full
                    
 
Thanks,
 
Chris
