Hello again all, Now that I have amanda running in a somewhat reliable manner, its time to make her a part of the disaster revovery plan. I run about 8 tapes a week and this config:
dumpcycle 1 week runspercycle 5 days tapecycle 10 tapes So, I need to get my tapes offsite for 6 weeks at a time. This seems simple enough to do by increasing the number of tapes in my tapecycle and amlabeling some new tapes. Here's where the problem is (unless you see one above that I have overlooked). I send the tapes from the last week of every month offsite for 1 year. Can I arrange the tapecycle in such a way that I can get amanda to recognize a tape as being eligible to overwrite even though it is not in chronological order (that is, tape 8 may still be offsite for a year, but tape 24 has come back from a 6 week offsite cycle and I want to use it again)? What should I expect to happen when I try this method? Will I have to set up a second config (ex: DailySet2) and run this second config with its own set of tapes and run it during the last week of every month?
