Hello!
I'm running weekly backups with two cycles a week. Here are my settings
in amanda.conf:
----------------------------
dumpcycle 7
runspercycle 2
tapecycle 10 tapes
runtapes 5
tpchanger "chg-disk"
----------------------------
I'm still testing amanda. This is the first time amanda used all 10 vtapes. I
thought amanda will automaticly use old tapes when there aren't new vtapes
available.
This is the email from amanda:
-----------------------------
These dumps were to tape weekly1-9.
*** A TAPE ERROR OCCURRED: [No more writable valid tape found].
Some dumps may have been left in the holding disk.
Run amflush to flush them to tape.
The next 5 tapes Amanda expects to use are: 5 new tapes.
