Yes.
And how does the retention? In the next cycle (next week) will be overridden in
the data used tapes or recording sequence occurs?
Amanda's retention policy is based exclusively on the tape cycle.
Data is retained until the tape it is on is overwritten, at which
point it's gone.
So, going back to your original explanation and question, you would want
dumpcycle 1 weeks
runspercycle 7 days
runtapes 1
tapecycle 14 tapes
In other words, if you want data retained for 2 weeks, then you need
enough tapes to run every day for 2 weeks.
