FWIW, I simply setup a separate configuration called "archive" for this
purpose. In my case, amanda.conf has:
dumpcycle 1 days
runspercycle 1
tapecycle 1000 tapes
And use a dumptype with the following:
index yes # record an index for easier restores
record no # do not record timestamps (don't interfere with
other configs)
dumpcycle 0 # ensure full dumps of everything are done
The (for me) huge number of tapes in tapecycle ensures that they won't be
asked for again. I don't have my disklist's symlinked, but definitely could
have. You'd just want to define the dumptype's in each configuration
differently (although they'd be named the same in the disklist...). Also, I
don't do any listed-incremental stuff, so this isn't an issue for me.
