53 # Some typical types of tapes are included here. The tapetype tells amanda
54 # how many MB will fit on the tape, how big the filemarks are, and how
55 # fast the tape device is.
57 # For completeness Amanda should calculate the inter-record gaps too, but it
58 # doesn't. For EXABYTE and DAT tapes this is ok. Anyone using 9 tracks for
59 # amanda and need IRG calculations? Drop me a note if so.

135 # These are referred to by the disklist file. The dumptype specifies
136 # certain "options" for dumping including:
137 # index - keep an index of the files backed up
138 # compress-fast - (default) compress on the client using fast algorithm
139 # compress-best - compress using the best (and slowww) algorithm
140 # no-compress - don't compress the dump output
141 # srvcompress - Compress dumps on the tape host instead of client
142 # machines. This may be useful when a fast tape host
143 # is backing up slow clients.
144 # record - (default) record the dump in /etc/dumpdates
145 # no-record - don't record the dump, for testing
146 # no-hold - don't go to the holding disk, good for dumping
147 # the holding disk partition itself.
148 # skip-full - Skip the disk when a level 0 is due, to allow
149 # full backups outside Amanda, eg when the machine
150 # is in single-user mode.
151 # skip-incr - Skip the disk when the level 0 is NOT due. This
152 # is used in archive configurations, where only full
153 # dumps are done and the tapes saved.
154 # no-full - Do a level 1 every night. This can be used, for
155 # example, for small root filesystems that only change
156 # slightly relative to a site-wide prototype. Amanda
157 # then backs up just the changes.
159 # Also, the dumptype specifies the priority level, where "low", "medium" and
160 # "high" are the allowed levels. These are only really used when Amanda has
161 # no tape to write to because of some error. In that "degraded mode", as
162 # many incrementals as will fit on the holding disk are done, higher priority
163 # first, to insure the important disks are dumped first.
