Hi!

A short question.

I would like to have the possibility to recover a backup thats 14 Days old.

I want to use virtuel tapes and a tape-changer for this.

Every 7 Days Amanda should do a full-backup.

Am i right that i need a tapecycle of 14 a runspercycle of 13 and a
dumpcycle of 7?

If not, what must i set at tapecycle, runspercycle and dumpcycle to get this
work?

Thank you very much!

Kind regards
Sebastian
