Hi,

 

I know this has been discussed before – but I just wanted to confirm something…

 

I have set up amanda and it is running fine – I was using it to do a full dump of 3 fileservers every night. We are using an autoloader and the dump was running across 4 tapes and taking 15 hours to do.

 

We then decided it would be better to start incrementally dumping the servers during the week and doing level 0’s on Saturday.

 

I was just wondering, If I set my dumpcycle to 7, runspercycle to 6 and tapecycle to 45( I inc tape per day + 4 level 0’s per week * weeks in month) how is it that I would tell amanda to only run level 0’s on Saturday and incrementals during the week? As far as I can tell Amanda schedules all that kind of stuff according to her own feeling.

 

I’m guessing I need to set up two configurations – one using strategy nofull and one using strategy noinc. What I really need to know is if that is really the best way to go – or if there is something else that could be done that might be easier to manage?

 

Thanks,
