Did anybody ever give you an answer to this as it is the same type of setup
that I am attempting to do as well? The book mentions that you need to do
something with amadmin -force, but I thought that was how you forced it to
DO a full dump.

Subject: increment only config question
I understand how Amanda will spread full and incremental backups along the
dumpcycle depending on dumpcycle, tapecycle, and runspercycle values.
However, let us assume that we want Amanda to perform full backups on
Sundays and incrementals on the remaining days.
I can use a separate "Full" config that performs dumpcycle 0's whenever it
is run. My question is that for the incrementals,even if I have the
following below as a separate dumptype under the "Weekdays" config,
define Weekdays {
program "GNUTAR"
compress none
index
strategy incronly
}
"Weekdays" config will always have to initally make a level 0 dump since it
can not see the index info generated by the "Full" config, all subsequent
backups after this will be incremental. There is no way I can avoid making
the extra initial full backup by allowing the "Weekdays" config to see the
index created by "Full" config right?
Thanks.
