Another question related to amanda 2.5:

Does anyone know if the issues with "skip-full" and/or "strategy incronly" been addressed? In the past, neither "strategy incronly" nor "skip-full" have worked quite as expected. I'm afraid I can't remember the full details, but one problem I've had, was that "amadmin force" would not really reset the dump level to 0. Another issue is of course that there are two slightly different ways of requesting an "incremental only" dump, i.e. "skip-full" and "strategy incronly". I concluded at one point that I actually had to use both in my setup. Anyhow, I'm assuming that some of you lot will know what I'm talking about, and can tell me if the situation has changed lately.
