-tapebufs 20
-# A positive integer telling taper how many 32k buffers to allocate.
-# WARNING! If this is set too high, taper will not be able to allocate
-# the memory and will die. The default is 20 (640k).

-# Specify tape device and/or tape changer. If you don't have a tape
-# changer, and you don't want to use more than one tape per run of
-# amdump, just comment out the definition of tpchanger.
-
-# Some tape changers require tapedev to be defined; others will use
-# their own tape device selection mechanism. Some use a separate tape
-# changer device (changerdev), others will simply ignore this
-# parameter. Some rely on a configuration file (changerfile) to
-# obtain more information about tape devices, number of slots, etc;
-# others just need to store some data in files, whose names will start
-# with changerfile. For more information about individual tape
-# changers, read docs/TAPE.CHANGERS.
-
-# At most one changerfile entry must be defined; select the most
-# appropriate one for your configuration. If you select man-changer,
-# keep the first one; if you decide not to use a tape changer, you may
-# comment them all out.

+# flush-threshold-dumped, flush-threshold-scheduled, taperflush, and autoflush
+# are used to control tape utilization. See the amanda.conf (5) manpage for
+# details on how they work. Taping will not start until all criteria are
+# satisfied. Here are some examples:
+#
+# You want to fill tapes completely even in the case of failed dumps, and
+# don't care if some dumps are left on the holding disk after a run:
+# flush-threshold-dumped 100 # (or more)
+# flush-threshold-scheduled 100 # (or more)
+# taperflush 100
+# autoflush yes
+#
+# You want to improve tape performance by waiting for a complete tape of data
+# before writing anything. However, all dumps will be flushed; none will
+# be left on the holding disk.
+# flush-threshold-dumped 100 # (or more)
+# flush-threshold-scheduled 100 # (or more)
+# taperflush 0
+#
+# You don't want to use a new tape for every run, but want to start writing
+# to tape as soon as possible:
+# flush-threshold-dumped 0 # (or more)
+# flush-threshold-scheduled 100 # (or more)
+# taperflush 100
+# autoflush yes
+# maxdumpsize 100k # amount of data to dump each run; see above.
+#
+# You want to keep the most recent dumps on holding disk, for faster recovery.
+# Older dumps will be rotated to tape during each run.
+# flush-threshold-dumped 300 # (or more)
+# flush-threshold-scheduled 300 # (or more)
+# taperflush 300
+# autoflush yes

+# Defaults:
+# (no restrictions; flush to tape immediately; don't flush old dumps.)
