Okay....what are the settings for getting a full once every 3 days with
backups 5 nights a week and 16 tapes? 

I tried 
dumpcycle 3 days
runspercycle 3
tapecycle 16 tapes

but that gives me fulls of everyone on Monday and what I want Tues thru
Friday. I think the problem is when it fires up on Monday it thinks it
is 2 days behind. How can I tell it to discount Saturday and Sunday? 

My cron file runs amdump Mon-Fri. 

Would 
dumpcycle 1 week
runspercycle 3
tapecycle 16 tapes

work better?

What are the amanda.conf settings (dumpcycle, runspercycle, tapecycle)
for
getting a full backup each night, five days a week, with a four weeks
worth of tapes (20)?

thanks,
