Hello,

Another way to force a full dump on every run is to add "strategy noinc" to the the dumptype definition you are using for
this backup.

Example:*
define dumptype root-tar {
  program "GNUTAR"
  compress none
  index yes
  strategy noinc
}

the tape.  So...

dumpcycle 0 days
runspercycle 1
tapecycle 7 tapes


Yep -- you got it.
