Hi All,

I am not  much familiar with backup terminology, and evaluating AMANDA software.

I am in the process of  testing partial full backup ( As per my
understanding Partial full  backup is distribution of the backup data
across the time to take full backup)

I modified the "amanda.conf"  file for following parameters

dumpcycle 10 days
runspercycle 10

As per my understanding the backup data is devided into ten equal
parts and every amdump run will backup the some ( 1/10th of entire
data) data. When i restore the data after running First time "amdump"
i get full backup.
And when i run "amdump" 2nd time it will not backup any thing if
nothing has been changed in backup directory.


Whether the AMANDA will support this kind of bakcup mechanism or Am i
going wrong any where.

Any pointers / info will be greatly appreciated,
Please let me know if you need any information.
