What could be a good place to look at? I have no link problems.

Well, with our old backup solution, we had a a full backup job, that ran once a 
month, and another job, that made the incremental backups.
We kept the tapes from the full backup job, and the incremental tapes were 
overwritten after a while.

The question is, how to set runspercycle, dumpcycle and tapecycle, that I can 
easily restore a two year old file with amanda.
