long term archiving
2004-10-23 01:40:01
Hi,
I just want to make sure I'm getting this correct... We've already got a
standard amanda config running with a 2 month dumpcycle, and we're quite happy
with that.
Now we're looking to do some long-term archiving of our systems. We want the
following:
-full level 0's every month
-runs out of cron 6 times/month
Basically I'm looking at something like this:
org "archive" # name of this config
mailto "spork AT spork DOT us" # where reports go
dumpcycle 30 # how often a 'full dump' happens (0=full every time)
tapecycle 9999 # min tapes in a cycle (never want to overwrite)
runspercycle 6 # 0=same as dumpcycle (how many times run per cycle)
Meaning in our case that cron will run this 6 times in 30 days.
Additionally, all dumptypes are set to "noincr".
Am I correct in assuming that when I fire this up Amanda will try to space
these dumps out over the 6 runs?
I ask because I did a few test runs with two small tar backups on each host and
it grabbed a level 0 of all of them on the first run, then again on the second
run.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Charles
