(I have a few questions and figured I would split them up as
opposed to asking all in one email)
To be very honest, I have no idea what these values should
be for my setup, I have the Adic VLS DLT7000 with 7 tapes in it and I would
like to have the ideal setup, I have a couple spare tapes but I don’t
really have the resources to buy any more tapes so I would like to rotate between
these 7 (or 6, see below) tapes.
dumpcycle 6 days
runspercycle 6
tapecycle 7 tapes
Side note: I am keen on placing a cleaning tape in to the
final slot but wouldn’t know how to setup Amanda to know about and take advantage
of the cleaning tape. As it stands now I clean the drive once a week manually.
Any suggestions about this would be greatly appreciated.
TIA
Jay
