Actually, you would use "dumpcycle 0" to get amanda to do full backups every run. tapecycle should still be set to however >many tapes you have -- anything other than that and you lose amanda's ability to track the tapes for you.

After reading through all the replies, it might be simple enough to use Bacula or Amanda. I had never seen Bacula before, and I have not found detailed info for Amanda and Autoloaders (Never used Amanda before).
What is simpler to use, Bacula or Amanda? Depending on that, I will look into either of those solutions.
Thanks everyone! jlc
