I assume the goal is to do a full dump of everything?
Will it all fit on one tape?

OK.
>Also, I want full dumps everytime. ...
OK. There is another discussion going on here about that. Are you
using 2.4.2? If so, you may want to do "strategy noinc" to ensure only
full dumps are performed. Or you may want to use "amadmin Monthly force"
before the run (make sure you run it as the Amanda user).

Nothing. It doesn't matter with dumpcycle set to zero.

You will want to set "record no" in all the dumptypes in "Monthly" so
it does not touch /etc/dumpdates. If they all refer back to "global",
you can just set it there.
>Is there an other potential conflicts that I should know about?
You probably want separate index areas, if you've turned that on.
If "Monthly" will not fit on a single tape, you'll need to do some
other playing around:
Set runtapes high enough so it will fit. If you don't have a
changer, use chg-manual.
or:
Let Amanda do what it can to one tape, then edit the disklist to
comment out those entries and run it again. Iterate until everything
is processed.
