You are right. I have only one DLE. You said Amanda strives (very
hard) to do a level 0
of each DLE (disklist entry) once per dumpcycle, and then do incrementals
on the other runs. It doesn't automatically divide DLEs.
What is the meaning of incrementals you are referring to. Is it backup
level 1 where it will always take modified files withrespect to last
full backup OR backup level 2-9 it will backup the files with respect
to last incremental backup.
For that you need to look at the 'bump' parameters in amanda.conf. In
most cases, amanda will do a level 0 once per dumpcycle and then level 1s
the rest of the time. That minimizes the number of tapes you need to do a
full restore. But, if a particular DLE changes too much then it may get
bumped to a level 2 (or beyond). Again, that's controlled by the 'bump'
parameters.
