Re: Enforce the use of level other than level 0

Thanks Jean-Louis,

The overwrite of the strategy during week-end made it good. It's workingpretty fine now for the last few weeks.

Thanks Mark but unfortunatly, I did try the force-bump and it didn'tseem to have an impact on the amanda backup level for this particulardiskset.

I let amanda leveling things out on the other 100's disksets.

Use a different strategy for week and friday.
eg . strategy nofull    # on the week, could be 'incronly'
     strategy standard # on friday
Editing the disklist or amanda.conf is not an easy solution, but youcan do the following:
If all DLE inherit from a 'my_strategy' dumptype, you could add thefollowing to amanda.conf:
define dumptype my_strategy {
   strategy nofull
}

You then execute 'amdump <conf>' on the week.
And on friday,  you execute:
  'amdump <conf> -oDUMPTYPE:my_strategy:strategy=standard'

I'd like to reserve a particulier diskset for the weekend (bigger andbackup is long), I know how to force level 0 on friday night (amadminconf force host diskset) but during the week, amanda decides to backit up with level 0 which is annoying for tape management and itdoesn't fit the night.So is there a way to make sure amanda won't use level 0 Monday toFriday and level 0 on Friday?
Thanks for your time, patience and  answers.
