I'm setting up an amanda system, and I'm a little confused by the
jargon. What I'm trying to do is one full backup a week (on Fridays) and
partial backups every other weeknight. I want to operate four weeks of
tapes in rotation, so at any time we have four weeks of backup down to
the granularity of one day.

Am I right in thinking that this is a dump cycle of 7 days, with 5
runs per cycle and 4 tapes per run? Sorry if this is alarmingly obvious,
I'm pretty new to all this :)
