I'd like to set up a second set of tapes for making a full backup each
sunday. My daily set with a set of 24 tapes is running from monday to
saturday (dumpcycle 6 and tapecycle 24).

For the weekly full backuo I have a set of 20 tapes. Amanda should write
a full backup to each tape, so I have weekly full backups for the last
20 weeks. Is this the right configuration to force amanda to make a
fullback each time:

 dumpcycle 0
 tapecycle 20
 maxcycle 0

Contab entry would be

 0 8 * * 7 backup /usr/sbin/amdump DudeWeeklySet

Thanks
Marcus

Looks OK.  Don't forget to use a dumptype with 'record no'
for your weekly or you will hose your daily schedule.
