hello all,

I need a brief clarification on what the dumpcycle is  and how it involves 
incremental backup and full backups . Most of what I have read online have been 
confusing thus far.

I believe this is the definitive explanation: http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/FAQ:How_are_backup_levels_defined_and_how_does_Amanda_use_them%3F

It is the first link in the Concepts section of the FAQ: http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/FAQ

Have you read that? If so, what is it that is not clear?
