Hi:
I have amanda 2.5.1p3 running on a server and amanda 2.6.1p1 on the client
in this case. I set up 3 "virtual tapes" on disk with a 3 week
"dumpcycle" and a 3 tape "tapecycle". I then saw somewhere that you
should have one more tape in your tapecycle than in your dumpcycle, so I
added one.
I am doing level 0 full backups only, but not yet on a regular basis for
these hosts. Because I had a failure the first time, I added this to my
amanda.conf:
usetimestamps yes # allow more than one run per day
However, one of the filesystems still failed to back up. Furthermore, it
used 3 different virtual tapes for this run, even though I set:
runtapes 1 # number of tapes to be used in a single run
Here was the report:
These dumps were to tape NS3_4.
The next tape Amanda expects to use is: NS3_1.

What's the best way to straighten out this mess, and have each backup dump
to one tape and back up everything?
