My intention is perfom a backup schema in 6x1 (6 incremental and 1 full
backup) using a LTO tape drive (200gb). My target system is a "ext3"
partition (/home) in a Suse Linux 9.3 box called "alpes", with less than 50gb
of size (mailserver).
Current Im using the "tar-excl".
Using amanda as it's meant to be used means giving up on the traditional
*nix thinking about scheduling backups. You let amanda schedule fulls and
incrementals, not you.
Also, looking at the amanda.conf you posted, there are some fundamental
errors. 'dumpcycle 0' forces amanda to do a full dump (level 0) every
time you run 'amdump'. Also, tapecycle must be >= dumpcycle.
Stop. Read the documentation. Understand it. Run more test dumps. Then
come on back with any questions you still have.
