I'm new to Amanda and I'm preparing to rotate tapes for the first time.
I have an autoloader that holds 10 tapes all under the amanda.conf as
DailySet1. And I just ordered 10 more (new) tapes, but I'm not clear as
to when do I pull out tapes and put in the new ones???
I currently have these dump cycle settings and my intention is for the
fulls to occur every 5 days
dumpcycle 5 days
runspercycle 5
tapecycle 10 tapes
I understand that the plan is to stop using your current 10 tapes and
start using the new 10 tapes instead? In that case, you should mark your
existing tapes as not reusable
amadmin DailySet1 no-reuse Tape01
amadmin DailySet1 no-reuse Tape02
...
then just take out the tapes, put in new tapes and label them with new
labels
amlabel DailySet1 Tape11
amlabel DailySet1 Tape12
...
Sorry if I misunderstood your intention.
