Im trying to setup incremental backups. I would like to perform 1 full backup during a 7 day period and then incremental the following days.

Here is my config.

dumpcycle 7 days
runspercycle 1

tapecycle 15 tapes

Here is my disklist

amoverview DailySet1

         date                 07
host     disk                 07

65.209.1 /etc                 11
65.209.1 /home                00
65.209.1 /mysql-backups       11
65.209.1 /var/www 11

As well as Marc's fix, please read through

Amanda distributes the fulls through the dumpcycle (not all on the same day) so as to optimize load. It may be a little rough at the beginning; but, once it gets going, it will smooth things out very nicely over the 7 days that you've configured.
